I've looked at this photo several times and have come away with
mixed feelings about it. First, the horizontal, parallel lines of
the fence, the shore, the waves, and the shadow of the tree create a
very nice, tranquil feeling. The choice of the 105mm focal length
was just about perfect. Any longer and the compression would have
upset the balance, wider would have skewed the scene completely into
something else.
What bothers me is the tree branch in the upper right corner. Upon
some viewings I see it as a nice framing element, other times it
strikes me as a distraction. Strange that each time I look at the
photo I get a somewhat different feeling. I did a real quick and
dirty crop and removed the branches, and I'm still not sure which I
prefer.
