I like the photo, it gives a very calm impression and feeling of being there, with nice colours and the touch of the flowers.

However, perhaps if the horizontal log was a bit more off-centre, the composition would be more dynamic?

Lovely scene. I also think that placing the log lower in the scene or on a slight angle would take it to another level. Still, a fine image.

I think I agree with Dave. It isa fine image, but a slightly higher angle of view would be even better.

I like the scene and the comments. My question is would a vertical composition make a difference?

Not sure but it is amazing how much depth you can get out of a 30mm aps-c/50mm film lens.
