Do I see koi in the pond? I adore the serenity of the photo. The soft earth tones lead you into a peaceful place. I could sit there for hours. The reflections on the water a particularly nice. Good job

Seems strange to see your fall colors showing up as we are going into summer. Fall is my favorite season, love seeing the colors, warm days and cool nights. Very good frame and focus to show the beauty of the season.

Nice crop and compositional style makes this a very artistic presentation plus the colours add to a painterly feel.

You have resurrected some memories for me with this photograph as we spent some time at Himeji Castle.

Well taken and a pleasure to find this image.

Thanks Olga, this is a very popular Japanese Garden on the edge of the city of Adelaide. We enjoyed visiting Himeji Castle when last in Japan hubby wasn't as fond of all the stairs though :)
