Another shot from my house, spring has finally come to Lake Erie and I've been enjoying being able to get outside with my camera again. This is just a shot I took through my hammock looking towards the lake..one of the most relaxing places in the world to me..:)

Hi Donna,
Very good use of converging lines to form the main structure of your compo ... well seen and captured. Looks a lovely place to just 'chillout' and forget about the daily worries. Well composed! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

What a wonderful place to relax Donna! And with the weather improving you will soon be back out there! Very interesting composition looking through the ropes of the hammock.TFS. Pat.

Wish I could have a such beautiful house....you are very lucky.
Regarding the photo, i could say that you have achieved the gola tat you want to depict in the photo.
The lines of rope, the bench away... created a mood of relax.
Well done mate..

This is a well composed abstract image Donna.
And what a super place to 'hang' out' this coming summer - but I hope you sell soon!

Wow Donna.. Good eye here!
Fantastic view, great idea and very well in quality.
Well done

Bye

A quick look at your interesting galery, I'll come back for sure paying more attention!
At the moment your last pic is my favorite.
It gives well the mood of the (at least!) ending winter.
Diagonal lines also work very well.
With a small detail you was able to communicate a lot...

Ciao, Antonella

A good juxtapositioning between the diagonals of the fg hammock, & the verticals of the bg bench. Well framed & composed with good sharpness & dof. Tfs!

Hello Donna,
This is a great photograph with amazing lines!
Stunning simplicity, but the image tells the story very well...
Creative framing, and I recognize the bench!
Your photography has come a long way since first time you appeared in TrekLens...
Greetings,

:-) OK-

It should have been submitted for the repetition theme Donna. Excellent POV, fine focus on the hammock and through to the view beyond. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Tamar Tides VI’ and ‘Happy Birthday Silke’

That really works Donna,

Very strong composition first the hammock and behind that a bench with amazing view and then the lake itself - yes I can see why this feels relaxing.
Great that you now can enjoy spring!!

Hi Donna,
Wonderfully creative shot of the lonely hammock looking out on the mysterious misty lake. It will soon get much use as the angle of the sun favors outdoor relaxation.
