This looks like a wonderful place to unwind....very peaceful and serene looking.

Love the all the different shades of green, nice use of light and shadows. Are those lilacs in the background?

Thanks for sharing!

What a lovely place just to 'chill-out'. You have shot the scene well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Thanks for sharing!

Simply lovely! I think the little bunnies guarding the door are really cute. It looks like a nice place to relax and maybe have a nice glass of lemonade on a hot summer day.

Interesting composition and image showing this oasis and respite from the world. On my monitor the colors are over saturated and unreal which has an impact on the whole image. I think if you pulled down the brightness and backed off on the saturation this would be a stronger image. All of the basic elements are there.

    Many thanks for your kind review and comments - much appreciated. I deliberately increased the saturation to try and give a Hansel & Gretel magical effect. It was not intended as a competition piece! However your comments are valid.

Beautiful small rest away shed surrounded by very pretty landscape. Does look like a calming place to gather your thoughts or just enjoy the landscape. Some of the greens look rather bright but it still is a beautiful scene.

Really beautiful garden shot. Love the composition with the little garden shed/room tucked int he corner. Nice pop of color with the purple flowers. Love the layers of different greenery. I would tone down the brightness on it just a tad.

OMG I love this "place" is this your yard? It is a magical garden and I love the color and fragrance surrounding this lovely place. You have captured it beautifully with great focus and clarity. Perfectly framed. Great detail. I want to live there.
I am in love with this image!

What a lovely secluded place to sit and enjoy the beautiful garden surrounding it. I like the angle you used for this showing the two rabbits guarding the door. Very good lighting and focus showing a lovely clear image. Lovely composition. Suzanne

I see a passive study in green.

This take is near monotone with many different shades of Green. A few contrasting colors, most notably, the Lilacs blooming in the background.

All the main elements are positioned neatly and give great depth to this garden scene.

Camera technique is well established and has every detail in sharp focus.

The Garden Shed, as the main element, is well positioned off center right.

Nicely composed and arranged ... B-)) Bob

A beautiful house hidden away in the woods. The image is beautifully composed and I like the flowers, but I might consider desaturating the greens a bit.
