I like this Peter and can picture myself sitting there with hot coffee and Baileys in hand, looking out over the pond waiting for some geese to fly in.

My only suggestion would be a modest crop. 4x6 format starting in the upper right corners so the the left edge of the crop just clears the corner post in the fence.

Jeff E Jensen 		  Yup, this is really nice, Peter! I like Dale's crop suggestion, it will get the tree out of the middle of the frame.

Aimee C. Eisaman 		  I think I've seen this tree before in one of your photos and that one chair too. Isn't that where your daffodils grow in the spring. I don't much mind summer being over, but it looks like fall is over too....no leaves or anything! Look forward to see the crop suggestions. :~)

  6x4 crop
6x4 crop
I cropped this 6x4 as suggested but because my original was not a 3:2 ratio this crop loses a bit off the top. What do you think or perhaps I should crop to the fence post but leave more head room.

Yes Aimee,I have shot that tree and the Adirondack chair previously, both with the daffs and one with a glass of wine and a red rose for Elizabeth on Valentine's day.

And thanks Dale and Jeff. It is always nice just to be able to take a few steps down the yard, take a few images then check them out on the computer.
I kind of knew the central placing of the tree would be critiqued but by then there wasn't time to reshoot.
I have cropped 6x4 as suggested but am thinking it takes a little too much off the top. My original wasn't a 3:2 ratio which causes this but I could always recrop to my custom (ie weird ratio!).
