Is the bench waiting for people? The park waiting for children to play? This reminds me of the book, The Giving Tree, where the tree gave all to become something for a child. I like the muted tones of the grass, slightly foggy, like a dream could occur in the middle of the park.   Posted: 04/12/2021 16:46:15

Hi Lauren, Beautiful atmosphere. Regardless of what we humans do with time, the bench sits there waiting day after day as the trees count time by rings. Two nits: Crop a little from the right side to cut off the background between trees. Desaturate reds to eliminate that color which pull attention to the two cones, or whatever, just left of center. Conversion to a warm monochrome is an alternative, but the muted color version is beautiful, too. Karl   Posted: 04/17/2021 10:49:23

Wonderful dreamy scene. I would remove the red cones and ?table? as they break the serene affect. The framing of the bench by the trees is particularly pleasing. I agree with Karl to crop on the right. I especially like the way the bench serves as the transition from the shade into the misty light. What post processing did you do? Can you post the original?   Posted: 04/25/2021 10:04:33
