you don’t have to be sorry, like it or not that’s what makes us different from each other :wink:
HI ,
i won’t citicise your picture, i just wanted to congratulate you on the way you take criticism.
we have all been there, trying hard to get better at landscape photography.
and whatever our level is, there is always room for improvement, in fact we are all learning .
But if i may write a few tips:
As a general rule, try to stick to the basic rules of composition , they can greatly help getting good pictures.
when you are good enough, you can then break these same rules to become more creative, but they are a good place to start.
also try to be picky about what you include in your pics: there is a saying that landscape photography is more about what’s not included in the picture , than what’s in it. a way to say that sometimes less is more….( avoid building fences and power lines for example).
finally , you’ll rarely get good pictures from a bedroom window, or from inside a car while travelling. if you think the light is good , get your gear and get out in order to find the best spot to take your shots. ( and in low light always use a tripod).
Just a few tips… you probably knew all this already. :)
good luck with it , and keep posting.

my photo looks like this because i already know all this tips or basic rules :)
don’t get me wrong, thank you for all of them (as a joke: maybe next time you will stick just with the criticism :lol: )
as for the weather, believe me, on that weather the ducks were hiding, so i’m not taking my camera out on a day that wet.thanks for the encouragement
You the way you see some pics of landscapes and whatnot & really they could have been taken ANYWHERE.
There is only one country that this picture could have taken in……Here’s a poem by Austin Clarke that your pic reminded me of
When the black herds of the rain were grazing,
In the gap of the pure cold wind
And the watery hazes of the hazel
Brought her into my mind,
I thought of the last honey by the water
That no hive can find.Brightness was drenching through the branches
When she wandered again,
Turning sliver out of dark grasses
Where the skylark had lain,
And her voice coming softly over the meadow
Was the mist becoming rain.
