My Favorite Picture Thus Far

I first used this picture for my 2nd assignment. This was my picture under the rule of thirds, as you can tell my picture is essentially split into three areas. 1 for the porch and table, 1 for the umbrella, and 1 for the background greenery, mountains, and skies. The only thing that I don't like about this picture is the white house in the mid-ground. I feel that if that were taken out and perhaps replaced with an ocean view the picture would be perfect. Also there are compositional lines all over the patio, tables and chairs. The greenery in the background also act as an artificial horizon line. I think the color coordination is also very nice, but I don't like how the picture draws your eyes to the white.
