William,
This is a well composed shot with the large tree providing nice balance for the building. The lighting and colors are great as is the photo's sharpness. The path creates a nice diagonal through the scene.
TFS,
Asa

A very fine photo and composition: so clean and so well illuminated by a soft yet sparkling light. The tree and the University building really match and balance each others creating a very harmounious composition with a naural sense of perspective. One really feels to be there on that lawn...
Again I find an excellent sharpness and a masterful colour reproduction. (It's so good the warm colour of Crouse College).
I really think you have made a very good job here.

Best regards,
Donato

Hello William,

This is a fine composition, really presenting the main subject in the best possible manner!
The framing trees nicely lead my eyes to Crouse College, and the angle of light adds a fine depth to the building...
Well done on exposure, the long shadows tell the story of the season but I notice the still fresh shades of green!

Greetings,
