If only those stones could talk, bet they could tell some history on the place. A neat shot, good angle, focus and frame as the fence leads the eye. Good work.

What a lovely landscape photograph you have captured here. It looks like something out of a fairytale with the lush greens, the beautiful trees and the rock wall. Lighting, color and subject matter all great.

    Thank you so much. This has undergone numerous revisions trying to "tone Down" the brightness. I hope it doesn't look "overcooked now".

Nicely composed landscape photo with that wonderful leading line of the stone wall. Your point of view makes this image interesting and pulls the eye over the frame. The colors are vibrant and wonderfully natural. Focus is solid with nice clarity over the frame. I do find that there is just a tad too much light here and there. I might consider adjusting highlight, shadow and color to see what happens. No zing on stars though I don't find it that distraction. Beautiful composition with an eye for great framing. Thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest.

    Thank you for your review. I took your advice and tried to tone it down a bit. I hope it is better. This photo has been a bit problematic.

    I do like it - nice adjustments!

    I used a Topaz HDR filter and I hope it doesn't look too "Overcooked"
reply by momentsofjoy7351 on 03-Aug-2015
    LOL - some will say that of course but I like the drama of that filter!!!
Comment from GaliaG


nice angle of shot and depth of field, but the wall is over expose and so is part of the grass and the plants

try to reduce the brightness and the gamma, it may help

thanks for sharing

    Thank you for your review. I took your advice and tried to adjust the intensity of the color and highlights. I like the composition but as you said the color and brightness has been a bit of a problem.
Comment from Dick Lee Shia


First thing to consider when taking photos is the so called "wow factor"...
Does it deserve a second glance as it has a great initial impact? If som then you've captured an interesting photo.
Well, this one is visually soothing & appealing because of the verdant overtone.
The stone riprap accentuated this area beautifully.
A great initial impact. Nice interesting subject. Excellent POV & DOF...Harmonious colors. Impressive lighting, focusing & framing.
Thanks so much my friend for appreciating! Best of luck in the contest!
