I like the angle, and the strong lines, and also the complimentary colors!
Nice shot!

I like the pic a lot but one small thing bothers me. I feel that the middle line should either be either more oblique or completely parallel to the bottom/top frame. I think a stronger composition would have been achieved thus.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Thanks for the nice comments Carrol and Yakim. I consciously wanted the picture to be a bit asymmetrical. It was designed to be a bit free-wheeling, given the summery nature of the shot.

Thanks again for the input.

Norm,

Thanks for the nice comment. I did try a crop without the blue but I think it's stronger with it in than with it out. I might take another crack at it today if weather and time cooperate and will try to get a shot with more sky.

Thanks again,

Tom

Well, I got a better shot of it today so I have changed the pic. For reference, here is the old one:

Much better! The blue and yellow really complement each other. I like the way the sky is at the bottom--makes it more interesting.

Hi Tom!
Simply love this! I missed your first post (until I read the other posts) but agree that your re-shoot is the winner. Great color and composition...just excellent, my friend!
