There's a nice light to it and the trees in the background add a nice touch. Great dynamics.

Now answer a few questions about what you learned and post the answers on your blog in a post called Landscapes. 1. Where is one place on the internet you might go to better prepare yourself for the location you are shooting at? Google maps sattelite view can give one an idea as to when and where they should visit and what the best hours are to shoot at. Also, google the weather. If you want to shoot a sunset, it's best to make sure you're not shooting a dull, cloudy one if that's not what you're going for.  2.

Is there something you could wear that would help you when you do this photo? You could dress up as an array of different characters and make up a little one-man play.
