I love this shot for its aesthetics, Tony. But I'd have like it better if the lawn wasn't mowed, and there was no bench or garden lamp.
That is only from the perspective of things being natural here, which all your shots usually are!
Again, this is not taking away anything from tis beautiful shot of yours!
Cheers!

Hello Tony
This is such a wonderful view and fascinating that it is your countrys youngest volcano.
You have managed the exposure very well in my opinion..This is a fantastic scene and I would love to sit on that bench and enjoy.
I can see why you pulled back from the bench to add the tree to the right which is needed to add interest and shield the oncoming sun.
Fantastic work Tony
All the best to you my Friend

Hi Tony,

Lovely shot taken almost into the sun, which has given you a nice hazy background and a vidrant foreground. Nice diagonal composition with everything working together to bring a really pleasing image. Good shot.

Hello Tony,

Without the bank and bench or garden lamp is it a very beautiful prerecording. But on the other side, I would like to sit on that bank in the morning sun at the beginning of a marvelous day (-:. You have well used the shade of the tree with the back-light prerecording. Well done. Thanks for sharing. Regards and TFS BOB

Hi Tony!

No need to apologize, the composition is so perfect you shouldn't have recomposed to ignore that area of the sky. The light angle is very good for bringing out the details in the grass, and the round shape of this part look very fine against the long straight bottom line of the volcano. No wonder why they put that bench there, they view is fantastic! TFS!

Best regards,
Andor

You have a subconscious wanting to share this view in person with someone do you not?! It shows in the image...a sort of beauty in the quiet to share but no person to share it with so we are the lucky ones! Very thoughtful of you....

Good pov and composition.

Hallo Tony
How wonderful would it be, to sit on that bench and just gaze at the wonderful nature that surrounds one at that spot and place? A little paradise indeed. It's a beautiful scenery and the water looks inviting and refreshing. I'm quite jealous of the region you are living in. It's impossible not be happy in such a pretty environment. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your day.
Kind regards

Hello Tony,
I think the exposure and composition of this land/seascape are fine and the side-lighting makes this very attractive. My only nit is the inclusion of the park bench, but that is a minor point and it does indicate the beauty of the area.
Thanks for sharing this one,
Best wishes, Ivan

hello Tony,
yesterday, I told New Zealand and volcano my student of biology for Zoogeography lesson. There are many volcanos in Turkiye, but all of them not active. Living there must be fascinating. Your capture also great always. Nicely composed and framed with dark shadows of trees. Beautiful colors and landscape. Thanks for sharing. best wishes

Hello Tony,
what a very peaceful scene!
You are so lucky with all the sun you get. I just set off for a photographing trip to my local river but had to turn back because of the rain! We haven't had a properly sunny day for ages! :-(
The light here is magnificent and I love the long shadows.
Vibrent colours as well.
Great composition.
Superb work!
Thanks,
Joe

Hi friend Tony,
Exquisite landscape shot and a fantastic view. Lovely fresh colours and sharpness and I like the bright sunshine coming from behind that tree. The glow looks superb. Excellent POV to portray the distant mountain and the tranquil environment. Beautifully done. Very nicely composed too. Kudos.

Hello Tony,

I am feeling concerned; I have come to look at your shots, have positively criticised this and my critique is missing! This has happened more than once!

This bench is definitely awaiting me to come and use it! What a fabulous view!
The shadows give a wonderful relief to the hillside. The colours are just right and the tree is an impostant part of the composition!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Tony,
A fine composition and the feeling of depth is stunning!
Excellent framing of the distant volcano, and I notice the colours are beginning to show a touch of late summer...
A well balanced composition with an attractive colour palette!

Hi Tony,
Very warm and well lit photo. The bench adds to the warmth and the composition. Great wide shot to capture the entire volcano.
I think, in a few situations, OE spots add to the photo except for situations where the entire photo is OEd.

Hi Tony.
I like your superb collation. I can take any your shot and take pleasure. However this is unique. I am amazed with scene, POV and framing. All theses components are simply outstanding. It is true all other components are superb too. Nice lights, so impressive shadows, image of remote hill, etc. Bravo. Excellent piece of art.
