This is a beautifully composed shot with nice lighting, I particularly like the way the tree branch shadows in the foreground lead the eyes into the picture, and the different levels into the background, well done.
Thank you Ben! I first thought of it as a quite trivial and uninteresting shot (mainly included it in the set of pictures about the first summer day in Stockholm this year); but for some reason couldn't really resist it as a picture of it's own, not quite sure why. But you are probably right in your description, it's the composition of the various components (at least it's not the content!) that makes a point. Perhaps could even be used as an example of a photograph with some point wholly due to "formal" features - normally I'm a little bit suspicious about that kind of photographs.
I think I like it more and more due to you comment!
Best regards
