technically an excellent pic with sharp focus and good lighting, but the long wall in the bg spoils the beauty of bthe garden;

Thanks very much, I agree it was a very small space for this walled garden.

Nice spot to sit down and relax. Great composition and angle, showing the details of this Chinese garden. Informative artist notes. Well captured.

Very beautiful garden. I like the spray of water from the fish. I really like your notes telling us about it.

Thanks so much Lynda, I appreciate your positive comments.

Comment from Tony B
I am fascinated about the gold rush here in America and the big part the Chinese had in it, interesting stuff.

The image appears a bit dark, not sure what your


exposure was set on but a bit of lighting up in the structure part would really make this pop.

Great artist notes and nice scenic image.

Thanks Tony, was taken just after lunch so not best time to get good lighting - funny how I concentrate on one thing eg the water spurt from fish and miss the background - need more practice with landscapes.

Love the garden, reminds me of a similar one in California. Composure and focus are wonderful. Would have liked to see more light on the pagoda to see its details. G'day!
