This week has been all about dreamy, autumn vibes, exploring the beauty of windows and ceramics that encapsulate the season’s essence. I feel that I was able to capture the most significant elements into this image taken through these old windows, where the soft, golden light filters in, casting gentle shadows. To enhance the mood, I did a bit of color editing, as the original photo was taken during summer, making it feel quite different with the cooler tones. I will include the original image as well for those who prefer the vibrant brighter and more cooler summer aesthetic; however, please note that the figure in the picture is a statue, not a man with little imagination you could make it the ceramic in this post. A statue adds intrigue, creating a whimsical conversation piece about the intersection of art and nature in our everyday lives.

What a beautifully crafted and deeply evocative scene. You’ve absolutely succeeded in capturing those “dreamy, autumn vibes”—the soft, golden light feels both peaceful and profoundly nostalgic. It’s incredible how transformative color editing can be, turning the bright coolness of summer into this warm, intimate moment that perfectly encapsulates the season’s essence.
The composition is wonderful, with the old windows framing the scene and the play of light and shadow. And thank you for the clarification about the statue! It truly does make the image more intriguing, inviting a longer look and that whimsical conversation about art, nature, and perception that you mentioned. A truly lovely and thoughtful capture.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful post and the time you spent looking at the image and writing a reply.
It was very interesting to see both the summer and autumn versions of this image and I have to say the autumn one appeals to me much more, so the work you did to create it was definitely worthwhile 🙂
