I thought I would be seeing this one on Usefilm when you first showed it to me. I like it very much. The exposure is perfect for the restaurant and foreground, but I think the brighter trees in the background could look better (or be cropped out as Ellen suggested). On the other hand, if they looked too bright and contrasty, they might clash with the more somber foreground, and divert attention from it. I think it is difficult to show this shot at its best...
Hi Ellen, Thanks for taking a look at my photograph. Actually, I took this around noon and it was cloudy. I visited your portfolio and found that you like flowers very much. Enjoy and learn more about your digital camera, so that your skill will be great !!! Regards, Koichi from Japan
This is a great shot. I moved the picture up so that the top fourth was covered (the bright area) and it changed the whole feeling of the photo. Good light, what time of day was it when you took this?
