Just seems like a picture in a park. Nothing secret or magical about it to me. It is a nice photo, but it doesn't make me feel anything. I particularly like the lighting on the leaves in the tree.
i like the hinted trail, but don't know if i'm supposed to be looking at the trail from IN the garden, or the trail that Leads to the garden.
a 6 from me
One of my favorite books. While the colors are lovely, this doesn't really give me much of a feeling of a garden: either before when it's overgrown or after, once they've started to take care of it. Perhaps adding people would have helped to get some emotion into the shot. -5-
6...the first thing that popped into my mind was Weirwood from Game of Thrones. It's those bright red leaves. I like it more for those series of novels. I suppose it works for Secret Garden, but it seems like an obvious thing for that. Technically, I wish there was more information to see in the trees trunk, but I know this wasn't a simple exposure. A little more space on the left would have given the branch a bit of breathing room too, but that may not have been possible.
Beautiful branch, shame you couldn't have shifted to include the end of the branch, I imagine the was a choice made. Lovely light you've chosen, but it doesn't quite reinforce a secret garden scene. Lovely shot all the same.5.
Why is the secret garden so violently colored to the point of losing its magic? Why such sharpening?
The composition would be twice as interesting without being attacked by a poisonous red
