I like the clear separation of fields the image allows, with the water, wet stones, dry stones, orange vulcanic sand and finally the green fields. The center piece of the image is made up by my wife in a cyan colored shirt sitting on a white towel. However to get the shot of the color lines right I had to go up quite a bit, which makes her so tiny in the image that she does not really have any influence on the watcher anymore...
Might be more visually appealing if the lines went from one corner to the opposite.
Speaking of lines, you have some strong leading lines here that could be used to highlight something: With a composition like this, it's good to be patient and wait until you have a subject in place that lines up with everything. If you're the type of photographer that only takes natural shots and never sets anything up/poses subjects, it can take a while to get this, but it can be worth the wait if you ask me (plus, the more you do it, the better you get at finding the places and moments that make for great photography).
Overall, I like the shot and hope you'll keep taking pictures!
Thanks for the elaborate feedback, it is highly appreciated. You're definitely right about the lines getting more appeal if they went directly from one corner to the other. I'm not sure whether I understand your comment about the subject lining up everything yet. I'd totally get it if the lines were leading somewhere, but struggle to lead anywhere with them being all parallel... I'll ponder it some more and will try different approaches to the topic of a subject when I'm out taking photos the next time, thank you so much!
