Hello from the Critique Club,

My initial impression when I first viewed this image was "What is the focal point of this image?" The left side of the image has some lawn furniture and the right side has some light/colors that seem interesting. With these competing subjects, my eyes went back and forth trying to find a place to stay a while and explore. You need to decide which part of the image is most important to you and crop accordingly. For me, I would crop off the left side of the image and focus on the light and color and how it plays off the water and grass. I would also crop off all of the ground at the bottom of the image, up to the tall grass currently located at the right lower edge of the image. This tall grass when located at the bottom right corner provided a nice anchor for this scene.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.

Tim

Like the many textures and lighting.

The lighting is neat, but I am having a little trouble knowing what I am seeing. All I can make out is the chairs. But I really like how you capured the sun rays.

good use of the light...

you've turned something probably quite ordinary into something exceptional ... great colours, lighting, contrasts and composition ... =8

The light patterns are interesting but it is difficult to find a subject here.

I like the sense of decay here - like a winter return to a summer home, on a quiet day.

Interesting light, but it is quite hard to make out the elements here. The white loungers(?) take away from the ambience.
