Composition is very centered and head on. Rule of thirds/golden mean and another angle to shoot the boat from would help a lot here. 5

This is great! The colors (combination of brown, yellow and green works well together), the pose, the light, the dof: 10 from me.

A Swan in the Limelight

In reply to your forum question:

I scored this a six.
Not lower, because I like the concept, the way the swan is lit and the ambiance of the photo.
Not higher because composition wise it is too centered and too 2D. For a strong composition you should try to get some diagonals or triangle lines (not like put a straight line in it, but lines of sight) in your shot. This is a bit to head on for me.

Welcome back Willem!
Have this photograph in my favs since ages.
It's a wonderful perspective and the density of the tulips blinding out the sky makes it feel a bit like a forest of giant trees.

Nice colors and good use of the natural lines.

Cool composition with that plant in front, frames the person well and the strong diagonal helps to lead the eye along the frame. With only the background it would have been boring.

Great, love it. The way the light works makes this so dynamic. Very cool b&w.
