• The horizon follows the "rule of thirds" and the scene is framed by the grass, railing and man-made stepped waterfall.  There might be too much grass and the railing is a bit severe (strong) but helps give the scene its depth.  The shoreline helps soften the scene.  The tall tree on the left also has its top clipped off.  Not exactly the best lighting (mid-day), but the timing was not my choice.  The picnic ground looked very lonely not being used on such a beautiful summer day.
