Supergold,

What a beautiful scene you have captured at Keukenhof. Nice how you have the water with some flowers in the foreground and grass, trees and fountain in the background.

Heel mooi ! I appreciate your detailed author notes as well. That is quite amazing and I find it interesting that bulbs are used as food for the livestock.

And a belated Koningsdag!

Linda

Exceptional shot Fred.

I love the brilliant colors and the reflections on the water.

the water falls in the background is a big plus. Well done.

A wonderful spring scene just at "tulip time". The curve of the water way and the fountain make for a great composition. Superb colors and very fine details.

Fred,
I wish I had another SIX for this beaitiful picture of the Keukenhof Gadens the "Lake, pond or river flowing through it reflecting the beauty on it's banks on it's mirror like surface the colours of the tulips & the dappled light & shade on the grass make this picture special. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan
This is beautiful landscape photography. The clarity of the image is good. The distant greenery, the stillwater with reflections bouncing of it,, the flowerbeds in the foreground make it a well composed shot. Well done.!

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
As a landscaper, I'm still curious how do the people maintain the cleanliness of the pond considering the falling leaves from the trees here!
Literally a cool capture.
Harmonious colors.
Balanced composition.
Thanks for sharing...
