I agree, well done. Some suggestions: earlier or later (needs better light). A little bit less sky would be nice too. Maybe try shooting from 1 or 2 feet off the ground. This might make for an interesting effect in the foreground with the deckboards (but you might lose emphasis on the Muskoka Chairs). Have fun at the cottage!

I like it!
up to 3/4.
The composition is very nice with the path leading to the chairs and inviting to seat there and comtemplate the view.
There's only a bit too much sky without points of interest in it, besides the dust that appears at the right and loewer centre.

You can clone the dust bunnies and crop a bit of the sky, and IMHO it woul look great.

Enjoy your time there!

Thanks! I was trying to do some cropping, but to stick with the 2:3 dimensions was difficult (I have some free prints at 4x6in) I also tried landscape but it cut away too much sky and dock.

Yes, that was Muskoka, I loved it :)

These kinda shots are making me want a wide prime hehe. Here's another...

Nice shots. I like the first one best, gives a good feeling of peace and restfulness.

Bruce Lake.... not sure if anyone knows where that is. Private lake I believe, I don't know the area myself. My friend owns a very nice cottage up there, we go up and just relax :)
