Picture is too large to be seen correctly. See posting guidelines.

Nice color palette. Needs to be cropped down to eliminate superfluous elements and the background needs to be defocused more to punch the subject out of the background. Also the SUV is distracting but you probably could not have it moved so maybe edit it out with photoshop. Something like this.

LOL! I could not move the SUV. Thanks for your comments. Where can I find the guidelines for posting photos? I've always done it this way on other boards.

Thanks for your comments. As they say 4 eyes are better than 2, the tilt to the left really bothered me after you mentioned it. Thanks for that. And you are right my bench was a bit out of focus. Thanks again.

She really isn't as mean as her avatar would suggest, really.

If you click on the different color words that say "Posting guidelines" it will open up the sticky for said guidelines. Jim

Thanks for posting your picture and I can see why you chose to photograph it. Jim
