amazing spot

thie tells me nothing. myabe a sunset to it could make it more dramtic and meaningful.

Beautiful. Very peaceful and serene.

Like the color.

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 and clear

This is nice, a touch "plain", but nice. Seems serene enough, but I don't think I would enjoy staring at the dirt hill in the background. 7 Swash

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)

Poor lighting.

Its OK as a picture of places you've been to, but as a picture in its own right, the landscape here is a bit uninteresting.

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.

this seems silly but next time maybe try rotating the picture a little so the pond doenst appear to be draining off to the left of the frame.

good use of rule of thirds.
07/17/2002 09:29:00 AM
Nice colors.

Good composition--the bench lifts it from a plain landscape
07/16/2002 10:25:00 AM
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.
07/16/2002 09:41:00 AM
it doesn't have much of a view though...
07/15/2002 10:55:00 PM
The bench is nicely located on a third line but this image is missing something... maybe a person on the bench facing the water? = 5 - jmsetzler

I love the sharpness and colors.
07/15/2002 04:58:00 PM
Looks like good fishing. 7
07/15/2002 04:36:00 PM
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.
07/15/2002 03:34:00 PM
Nice shot and a pretty area too. Where is this? Kee

I want this to be my front yard
