Surprise-surprise.
LaFoto is posting another photo!

It has taken me some time to come up with something - but here I am.

I quite like this photo, the lines of the trees + sunlight are very pleasing.
It's a good example of using the rule of thirds, without being a slave to "The Rules"

Beautiful...... Looks like an oil painting from some expert

Thank you!
I must admit I only came closer to the rule of thirds with the help of a little cropping, as in the original frame the foreground tree runs right (!) through the middle. Ugh...
But I was quite a bit rushed (as I usually am whenever I take photos) and quickly had to take advantage of this light!

Very nice, thank you for sharing it.

There's nothing wrong with doing a little cropping

There is no point in being dogmatic to keep the rule of third while clicking; post processing is photographer's right...
