This photo does nothing for me in this size, so I was hoping it would look really great in the High Res, sometimes the difference is quite amazing. I was really disappointed to find there wasn't a high res.
This photo has such a quiet and peaceful feel to it, mood wise. But the overall composition is somewhat boring, with the trees all the same basic height, and the symmetrical positioning, with the horizon line of the lake bisecting the photo almost directly in the middle. Too much was cropped off the top, so that the trees on the right look incomplete, and the darks on either side command the eye to the center of the image, where there is essentially nothing visually happening. If you cropped the right hand side, so that the brighter green was the "border," and took some of the bottom off, moving the horizon line from the "target center," it would help this visually, by making the eye move a bit more, and the lovely little golden leaves on the right would have more of an impact.
Howdie stranger!
