Hey Bob,


to be very honest, I don't really like the colors. I think they are very saturated, but I don't know the type of weed, so it could be natural. You create a natural composition and when I do it, I personally like it natural+ a little pushing.


But besides that one thing is looking a bit strange. When I look at the shadows, I think the sun was to the left from you. That would mean that it would light up the entire right side of the picture since that side is the sunside. Your right side is darker though and I think it looks weird.


I hope I didn't criticize too much, but you asked what do you think and I started looking at it quite (too) serious [:P]


What I would do or try is perhaps lower your angle, like you said and show a little bit of sky or tops of trees so it doesn't look like the river is flowing skywards and above the trees/bushes on the left. Maybe get a wider angle to show more, or compose a little different and maybe show less from the right side of the water. (I'm holding my hand in front of the right side of the picture and see a whole different composition in which I wouldn't mind the colors you used. Just some thoughts.


Hope you'll be happier with you new try! Good luck!
