We asked for pictures summing up autumn and we got them! 50 entries for our first rapid fire competition. The rules were simple - send in a picture taken in autumn that sums up autumn for you. Then we got our members to vote on the winner - here are the results.

Third Place
Acer by Robert Pinion
In third place “Acer” by Robert Pinion. Arboretums are always a good bet for autumn shots and Robert captured the glorious red of this acer at Winkworth Arboretum. The curves of the trunk give a focus to this picture whilst all the red bursts around it.

Second Place
Shadow Blades by Marino Perissinotto
Marino Perissinotto is no stranger to winning ThinkCamera competitions - he's had picture of the week two weeks running with his beautiful landscapes. This time he's runner up with “Shadow Blades”. I love the subtle tones in this from the sky to the shadows of the trees on the grass. It's a great monochrome shot - since everything in it is a shade of yellow - you can feel the mood of the place just from the picture.

First Place
Leaves by Steve Taylor
But the winner is “Leaves” by Steve Taylor. You can't get a more classic autumn view than this and Steve has captured it beautifully. Just enough sun to make the leaves glow like they are on fire - not enough to overpower the shadows. Steve was also just outside the top three with “Misty Morning” - a picture that would also do well in our winter competition…

Steve wins a special edition 1DsMkII and Ulead Picture Show 4.
