I like the tree (Weeping Willow, maybe) shading the bench; it makes me imagine spring. If possible I might have moved a step or two left to get the big house out of the background.
There are many beautiful views in the world & many benches placed to rest & enjoy them. This is my pick for the best of the best of this category of bench. I like it for the tones & the placement of detail. It feels familiar & new at the same time. 10
a very serene image, nicely crafted in PP, marred, IMO, by the careless juxtaposition of the bench's leading edge precisely over the shoreline. Lowering the POV perhaps six inches would have resolved this issue.
