The garden because perfect maintain, in autumn nice colours too.
You can see the pruned a beech hedge, a beauty

How maintain:

Pruning a beech hedge (Fagus sylvatica) is often done incorrectly. Many people prune the hedge nicely straight. Over time, the top is often pruned wider. This is because the top part of the hedge grows much more vigorously. Over the years you will get a hedge that can easily be 10 cm wider at the top than at the bottom. This wider part from the top takes the light away from the bottom part. As a result, the hedge grows worse and will become less dense. The hedge also dries up more difficult and thus falls prey to fungi and pests more quickly.
Ideal hedge shape
The ideal shape of a hedge is precisely the reverse shape. The bottom must be at least 10 cm wider than the top. This gives all parts of the hedge sun and light. This allows the plant to develop well everywhere and remain beautiful for many years.

I hope you like it

Hello John,
Another quite simple and plain composition, but it is full of beautiful tones of green, brown, yellow and orange. They are the typical colours of autumn, and you placed the hedge and trees very nicely on a diagonal. As always sharpness and exposure are perfect.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hallo John,
Prachtige herfstkleuren op een dag dat er ook nog een aangenaam zonnetje scheen. De gele en bruine bladeren krijgen er een extra warme gloed door. Mooie diagonale lijnen ook door het pad en de heg.
Lars

Greeting.
Nice sidewalk and fence, well shown with nice colors, contrast, perspective and good text.
Nice trees and a hedge in the fall, a good moment with clouds.
I wish you a nice and peaceful night, all the best.
Paja.

Hi John,

The length of the sidewalk is creating depth. The point of view3 is showing the details of the edges and of the trees. The quality of the light beautifies the colors. Have a nice day.

Hallo John, i like the excellent advices given in the photo note about how to prune a beech hedge and get an ideal shape. The hedge presented is perfectly maintained. It is a good example. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

ChrisJ (171146) 2020-10-29 17:56

Hello John,

Together, the hedge and path add good linear perspective, directing the eye towards the bg. Nice Autumn colours with superb warm cold color contrasts against the blue sky. Tfs!

Hello John, well-maintained hedge. I have also 40 metres of the hedge, but mine is of Cotoneaster and it cut by me (rarely) so it doesn't look so well. Nove I have these colours. Nice composition.

Best regards Malgo

Hi John
Lovely Autumn photo with beautiful colors and fine composition. Just a perfect day indeed, excellent image and overall content...,
Congrats
Best regards

Hello John,

Well, you have pointed out a pruning strategy that had never occurred to me before. I suppose it works for all hedges, not just beech hedges.

Your photograph, as well as being very well composed, picks up the warm colours of autumn, in the hedge and in the trees. They are well placed in relation to each other and are, as always sharply captured.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Bonjour, cher ami John,
C'est la fête à l'automne avec cet environnement qui se pare de mille couleurs.
Une composition ravissante.
Amitiés.

Hallo John,
Een eenvoudig thema maar de foto is zeer mooi met de vele verschillende herfsttinten onder een lichtblauwe lucht en met witte wolken.
De haag was gelukkig niet te hoog zodat je er makkelijk kan over kijken en foto's nemen van de mooi geknipte planten en struiken in de tuin.
Scherp en helder tot in het kleinste detail.
Prettig Allerheiligenweekend, Paul

Dag John,
Een heerlijke herkenbare foto. Een wandeling in het herfstzonnetje door de buurt.
De bewoners hebben hun uiterste best gedaan om de heg er strak bij te laten staan.
Misschien zou een wandelaar die zijn hond uitlaat het zondagse beeld nog meer compleet hebben gemaakt, maar die moet er maar net lopen.
Groet Rob uit Haarlem, inmiddels aan de andere kant van het front, nog wel harde wind maar een stuk koudere lucht, Rob

Hi John.
Very beautiful the perspective of this street with so many gardens, with perfectly trimmed hedges, both this and the trees present that varied range of autumn colors, a beautiful, very pictorial sky.
A nice photo, with beautiful natural colors, good lighting and sharpness.
Well done. I love.
Enjoy the weekend.
Very best regards.
Luis.

Hi John,
fantastic autumnal colors indeed!
The hedge seems to be perfectly maintained, I am so jealous! It looks magnificent on a good weather day in the direct sunshine.
Lovely seasonal photography.
Very well done,
M
