Nice. Also a rather unconventional leading line along the tops of the trees. It works.

Nice! There's a picture there for sure. As Bob said; it has a leading line in the tree tops, and then there's a cool secondary "Z"
Throw in 3 mirroring triangular bright areas for good measure.

I'm guessing that the people in the composition are what you want to bring our attention to. I see a problem in that because they are very small and they are separated from each other. I feel that this is an example where a closer examination of some detail rather than trying to capture the whole scene, would have resulted in a photo with a bit more impact.

An excellent critique.

This photo was taken from a bus, serendipitous composition that caught my eye. At home, I tried honing in on the man but decided the composition wasn't as interesting. In general, I certainly agree with your point of view, and thank you for stating it.

When I first looked at the photo, my eyes went right to the Palm trees which were interesting to me seeing a single line of them out in a field. Then I went to the fence which led me over to the person in the lower right who I could barely see. Finally I noticed the other individual on the left in the background. If your intention was to photograph the people in it, they are easily missed. If it was to highlight the palm trees, it works well.

The palm trees certainly caught my eye, but the trees alone did not for me, in this particular composition, make a picture. The people are the bookends and add points of interests. Or, perhaps, the trees are leading lines to the people. When looking at the Hudson River School of painting with the beautiful landscapes and the small people, would you say that the people can be easily missed? Of course, I don't compare myself to the greats, but I do try to learn technique from them. So, a question might be: must the subject take "center stage" or may the environment overwhelm the subject, or does, then, the environment itself become the subject with the people just as reference points for perspective?

Thanks very much for your reply. I do very much appreciate it.

I enjoy the rhythm. If that was your aim, perhaps upping the contrast of the palm trunks?

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll try that to see if I like that effect.

Good point. The Hudson River school, while making figures usually small knew how to use contrast and composition to eventually lead your eye to them. You might try squinting with one eye to see how they used contrasts to guide the eye. Always steal from the best--at least to start.😊

I know that they used light in very special ways - sometimes highlighting the people and animals, and sometimes not.
