I have a photo (of a completely different place) which is eerily similar in framing and shape outlines to this...I want to run the "FIND EDGES" filter in Photoshop and superimpose the two.
nice placement o the bench within the frame, and an ok view, too. would be nicer if it was more green, but i know that's outside of your control. what's inside your control (potentially) is the lighting. the shadow from the bench is quite harsh. was there a way of taking this in the late afternoon or early morning to have softer light (and maybe even a colorful sky depending on whether you are facing the right way?) -- gr8photos (5)
Nice composition. There is something that isn't quite right - to me that is. I don't care for the overexposed bench and surrounding dirt - it is distracting and takes away from the rest of the photo - wonder what it looks like in b/w or with a different dof? Anyway - still a good composed photo. Nice work. Ruthann
This is a very nice idea, but it's lacking in color. With a shot like this I feel like there should be fields of wildflowers or something to add color.
Pretty good composition... You might have waited until later in the day so there was a different angle on the shadow. Black and white might also look good here as well.
