I'm guessing that it was a cloudy day when you took this one, as the light is quite flat. Compositionally it's good, and I like the use of simple, yet strong elements. I particularly like how you have resisted the temptation to show the whole trees. To make this one a bit more stark, a straight-on, rather than oblique angle may have worked better.

Well, I like the flat colors as they give the true feeling of the season. And the colors of the chairs really work well against the discrete colors of the wall and the warmer colors of the leaves.

Good reflexion also.

In this type of scene a frontal picture, without perspective would work fine, but this ones nice to!

very nice photo... strong expression... I could imagine that a cold, empty and a bit lonely place makes you long for a busy, warm country... are you sometimes longing for your home country?
