Chinese Garden by =shadowed-light-waves The suggester writes, "The composition and colors are excellent, I love the tree in the foreground, and everything is so vivid I thought for sure it had been painted! Quite simply, I love it." (Suggested by ^ElectrikPinkPirate and Featured by ^PorcelainPoet)

Critiques


:iconultra-violet-x:
I've seen this picture many a time on your page, and each time I see it I go "Wow!".

The first thing that really impresses me is the lillys, all leading up in a track to the building.

The tree, framing in the picture with the bush underneath it, that's just really well done.

Then there's the tree hiding part of the building which would probably be in darkness - very good (even though you didn't put it there =p).

And another thing! The sky reflecting in the water. It's so still, with the slight shimmer by the building's reflection. MAGICAL!

But some negatives are due I think! :giggle: There are places, like on the bottom of the sticking out bit on the left, which are overexposed. Could be fixed by shoving the shutterspeed up (or even a tiny edit with the colours in photoshop).

But yeah - I really do like this one. Well done! :glomp:

I love that place (this is the one in Portland, right?). But not as much as the Japanese gardens. Can I borrow you talent-infused camera some day when I go back?

I love it too. Who would've thought something like this would be in the middle of downtown?

Hehe, and sure! =D Oooh, come to think of it, I'd love to go up there and take pictures sometime, too. Maybe in the Autumn when all of the leaves turn red.
