This is so beautiful, Mark!

I would love to sit there for a long while.

But, that would have ruined your photograph. :D

What's up with the rope and fence? It adds to the scene, but it makes no sense in real life.

Do you know?

my first reaction was WOW .. !!! ..
what a stunning scene ..
then i laughed ..
that seat there with the rope .. looks like unfinished business ..
i'm imagining a farmer type sitting in that seat having a coffee break ..
or maybe a photographer sitting in that seat .. chimping .. and what a beautiful scene to chimp in .. !! ..
congratulations on your red ribbon .. :)

Oh, that must smell heavenly. Beautifully serene scene and I like the bit of purple in the sky echoing the purple lavender.

Wow, very different and attractive scene. Nice depth as well. I am sure this will do well since it has the appeal factor. Personally the post processing is a bit too strong for me, it causes a purple colour cast across the whole image, even the grass and the white chair.
