    Michael,

    It seems to me that the colours are a bit flat and that the foreground could use a little more sharpness but I enjoy your composition and how the natural sun light interact with the bench.

    The focus should have been on the bench, that was an error. I set the focus in the middle, halfway between the background and foreground making nothing sharp. So much for large DOF with a digital P&S camera, large but not infinite!

    I did have a version where I juiced up the saturation a bit but didn't like the result. It was a dreary, waiting-to-rain day and I tried to capture that.

    Thanks for the comments!

    Hello Michael,

    Actually, I'd say that the colours are just right. I wasn't on my computer when I reviewed your picture yesterday. Looking back at it on my monitor, the colors looks quite different (more lively)...
