Greetings from the Critique Club

What a nice, technically good, and well framed image.

But it didn't score well. I rather think your comments spell out the reason: the frame is great, but it's what is (or is not)inside the frames that probably was your downfall in the scoring arena.

Oh, for a rowboat in the water, or a person (in a red jacket?) standing in one of the frames.

I'm always glad to see one of your images. They usually have something interesting to say. Keep 'em coming! (I know you will.)

Alice

A lot of potential in this scene, but it comes off to me as somewhat flat and my eye is drawn to an area of blown highlights, where there is nothing to look at. Not sure what to suggest.

Looks like a tough exposure. Think I'd like to see a bit more of the view and less of the gazebo. Actually, I'd probably get bogged down trying to take a picture of the floorboards framed by the shadows ;-)
