Summer Shower (I photograph landscapes in my retirement)

I don't know what it is about this photo, but I just don't get any sense of belonging out of it. Many times, if I see a landscape like this, I can feel like I'm there, but in this one, I *feel* like I'm just looking at it on paper/through a screen. Problem is, I can't place exactly why. There's depth, yet it still feels flat.

Maybe it has something to do with that overly bright spot in the reeds along down from the cloud line... lens flare of some sort? It sucks me in more than the surroundings.

Ahhh heck. This is just one of those times where nothing I can say is particularly helpful. I just don't like it on a personal level.

I'm surprised I didn't tell you how much I like this charming, nostalgic scene. The boy in the red cap is almost straight from a Norman Rockwell illustration. I like the lovely natural colors of the sunset too.

This is really a cool capture of a moment in time. It's been wet here too and the sky has been similar to what you captured - I find this photo very captivating.

The clarity of the image,the details, focus and DOF, the composition and balance contained therein and the juxtaposition between the ominous skies and the plume of white clouds, all of these demonstrate a keen eye and an attention to details. This image speaks to me in whispers and tells me that one Bear_Music submitted this.

Very nicely done.
