That is a nice row of colourful trees and the fence gives it a nice sort of border. Very nice Jimbob.

Don't you get frustrated as a photographer when nature (lighting) and immovable objects don't quite cooperate?

... ...

Right, what the heck am I on about here?

First, I like the inclusion of the repetitive shapes of the lamp posts/benches. Complimented by the lines within frame. Raises the creative bar.

Add in a touch of natural framing provided by the overhanging branch ... good good eye. Shows some aforethought prior to depressing the shutter button.


Caveats?

Oversharpened. Dial it back some. (In my humble opinion, of course.)

Don't mind the contrasty look. It works. (Albeit, some details are lost in the shadows.)


The first thought that came to mind when I opened your image here?

Central placement of that one lamp post.

In and amongst the things that could jump out and grab one's visual attention ... the lamp is that thing for my eyes. So ...

A slight change in composition as a suggestion then. Such that one of the benches becomes the focal point (and bringing this back full circle to the opening comment).


/\ All of the above is merely some food for thought.

Brought me in for a closer look, so ... mission accomplished.

:o)


Edit: Had the thought ... in your post processing, sharpen last. If you are not doing so already. As I get the impression that you are indeed resizing your images.

Which ... could amount to sharpening ... twice, more or less. Once; during sharpening ... then, upon resizing. Depending on the options available to you in your image editing program.

Really a very nice photograph, Jim. I love the subdued light of an overcast day and the way the benches and lampposts invite the eye to travel from left to right.

So, Jimbob, how long did you hold up traffic, in this entrance way, while you composed this shot? All that honking was not from geese! lol.

It is a beautiful composition nicely done.
