Thanks Sange, I posted this then saw the garden contest so used the other one (which you are not supposed to know it is me LOL).

Comment from Snopaw
What a lovely tranquil scene in this garden Mary, Thanks so much for the great set of notes to go with the image, good notes always give such added interest, at least to those who bother to read them.

Your composition is right on, with lots of leading lines to lead us well into the photograph. Nice and clear DOF. Thanks for sharing this view :)

Looks like a very peaceful place Mary. A very beautiful setting with all the flowering trees staring to bloom. A fine photo of these gardens. Camera techs look good and thanks for sharing it.

Thanks David appreciate your positive feedback ☺ was peaceful with exception of ladies herbing around in golf cart as they were not able to walk the slopes 😀

This is beautiful landscape photography. The clarity of the image is good. The colourful trees, the pond with its reflection, the shrubs it a well composed shot. Well done.!

Thanks for your feedback I like to use foliage to frame image which is reason I haven't cropped it was intentional ☺

A very nice image with great colors. I particularly like the blooming trees and the little bridge. Composition and depth of field are just great.
