Art Critique

I didn't make it to the field trip so today I will talk about a photo my brother took for his photography class in college. It's a picture of a lake, with a little wooden dock stretching out about 10 feet. It is in black and white, which I think gives it an Erie feel. You can see a little mist rising off the lake into the white sky. There is a seagull perched on a branch on the side of the lake where the pussy willows stood tall. The only thing that I would change about the photo is the lighting. If it was taken later in the afternoon there would be more color variation from the sun setting across the lake.
