I really like the composition Lennart, but the colors could use some pop in my opinion. Maybe some contrast, but well seen composed and captured.

I agree with Bob - I like the comp and the placement of the cottage in the shot, but the colors seem flat. The opportunity for the red roofs and siding to "pop" and really make the shot would be worth the effort to try and make it happen.

Wonderful scene Lennart. The overcast sky tells of a drab day and if accuracy is what is wanted in a photograph this seems right to me. Not that I don't agree that your photo could be made to have more "pop", sizzle", whatever. It is your photo and I like it very much. I'd love to spend a month living there with a boat and fish in the waters.

Really pretty scene!
I agree with boosting contrast and sats.

Thank you for comments.
As this is one of my first attempts on landscape photograpy I´m very pleased to hear that you like the scene and the composition. Don´t expect me to comment your landscape pictures yet. I want to have a little bit more experiance first.

I like the comp Lennart. Looks like a wonderful place. I think a little more contrast would make the detail and colors pop. I would not increase saturation. This looks very much like my favorite place in coastal Maine.

Apart from the flat light this is really nice. Good composition and nice subject. Not a bad place to live!
