A very nice winding path to take you through the shot, a bench to relax on when you are tired from your journey, a peaceful park to relax in. Ah yes, my cup of tea to be sure! I would have cropped just a bit more off the bottom, and a little looser on the left and bumped up the brightness and contrast just a touch. A 7
Another example of what would be stunningly georgeous in b/w imho . They grey sky is just not pleasing. Good comp though. I would have liked to seen the shot from a lower perspective.
I have this problem too sky blown out and shot under exposed. I know you must be getting hit with that I do as well. I wish I knew how to fix it. if someone makes a sugestion that makes any sence, please pass it on.
as for the pic
good compsition and nice peacefull quiet feel. I like ie a lot
I haven't been to this garden (I'm 99% sure I know where it is) since the summer. Its feeling in November is very different, quieter, with all the flowers "sleeping." That's what gives this a meditative quality. I'm not sure I'd call it "sacred" but it's definitely contemplative and emotive, especially with the curving path disappearing into the near horizon.
