Styrsö, a photo from Vastergotland, Gotaland

Photographer's Note

Styrsö is one of the numerous islands of Göteborg's archipelago. I think that it's one of the most inhabited, but no worries, it's not Manhattan... It's so cute and picturesque, just like one would imagine Sweden: Water, trees, rocks, painted wooden houses, fishermen's sheds and small boats and an aboslute army of triporters (because car are not allowed). It's a lovely place only a few minutes away from Göteborg by ferry. Worth going for sure, although I guess that it must be busy during the summer.

Good depth for this shot: I like the way the pier leads us into the picture. Nice composition with the boats hanging and the reflections of the clouds in the water. The red leaves of the bush tell us we are in autumn.
Well done. Thanks for sharing.

Good composition, Nicolas. I like the way in which the boardwalk leads the eye into the picture, and also the deep DOF. You could have improved this even further by using a grad ND filter to reduce the exposure of the sky a little. Cheers . . . David
