I know I didn't follow the rule of horizon not in center but it didn't seem to

matter how I cropped it I lost the better parts. Any comments are

appreciated

Simple & Beautiful...

I like the  symmetry of  this  image, the  tonal range,  the  layers  of  grass  on the  shore, the water the other  side  of shores and forest, the  distant  mountains  and  as a crown on the  image  the  perfectly exposed  sky, not  over  powering the whole image. Simple  but  perfectly balanced  composition. Bravo Diane.

Oh. Please straighten out  the  slanted  horizon.  A secondary problem only.

Cheers;  Bela

Great sky, nice foreground, nicely balanced.  They are not "rules" but rather guidelines that often will help produce an aesthetically pleasing photo.  Following the guidelines does not guarantee a good photo, and contradicting the guidelines does not guarantee a bad photo.
