Comment from CREZart
Wow, what a beautiful garden spot. Can see why it would be a favorite. Love the composition with the tree framing but not overpowering the scene. Also really like that the rocks break up the consistence and add interest. The water aspect leads the eye back into the rest of the flowers and greenery. Well done, thank you for sharing:)

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of that lovely garden scene. It certainly packs in a lot of lovely greens. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

The picture effectively employs light and texture, evoking the warmth of the sun and the chill of the wind. This is the kind of landscape that doesn't need a mapâ€"the emotion guides the journey. Lovely post. Here's my SIX for you.
