This picture is very peaceful for me. I enjoy the subtle colors and light. I usually like pictures with brighter colors or black and white and more drastic lighting whether it is a lot less or a lot more. I like the pale grass and contrasting dark silhouettes of the trees. They give a sense of intensity that lot of the picture tries to hold back. The building/dome poking out behind the trees adds a sense of mystery and curiosity to the photograph as well. The softness of the photo is also different from what I usually like but it suits the peaceful quality as does the smooth lake that isn't quite glassy. The water also mimics the soft but gloomy clouds. The clouds feel like they are almost opening in the middle for some celestial being and bring another sense of mystery to the photograph. The asymmetry also works well and provides an interesting balance for the viewers eyes as they examine the contrasting sides of the image.
