Impressive capture!

An interesting initial impact.

Verdant overtone with
Fine symmetrical features & rough textures.

Bright lighting. Pin sharp focusing. Compact framing.

Thanks for sharing...

We have one of these behind a universal church on my street. It is so peaceful to walk there.

You have the colors so saturated and beautiful. Wonderful image.

An interesting scene with fascinating notes! Your fine composition gives us a good look at the scene. Sharpness and exposure are good. I would though like to know where in the world this shot was taken? Otherwise well done!

Very Cool,Mary!
This view of an ornamental labyrinth reminds me of one of the long neglected but historically significant 'sacred areas' where the sorcerers of some of the local 'Original Nations' allegedly practiced their 'Dark Magic' ceremonies and rituals! (One such area inspired the well-known 'horror' novel 'Pet Semetary' by the famous writer Stephen King! )
It's an interesting photo and a really 'Good Show',my friend! : )

    Wow thanks Sean, and appreciate the extra information, I had read they go back some 20,000 years but think these days they are more known for their health benefits, promoting a calm mind and a place for mediation. :) Mary

A very nice shot with a bit of a mystical look about it. For some reason it brings to mind Stonehenge or some of the Nazca lines. Very nicely composed with fine colors.

    Thanks Mike, the idea of labyrinths do go back around 20,000 years so perhaps originally linked with the same people who created such wonders. :) Mary

Very nice appealing architectural photo Nicely shot and good coloring. I am assuming it must have been difficult to capture the complete circle. Still a nice photo

    Thanks so much for your positive feedback. Yes couldn't quite get the edges of the outer circle will have to go back with my Wide Angle Lens :) Mary

This is a great view of the labyrinth. Were you on a hill look down at it.........?
You have centered it well and have all in the photo which is challenging enough.

So what is the purpose of one of these? looks like its a religious thing? or a time piece,,,,looks really though, love the background of trees, must have been interesting to try to capture the whole think,,love the focus and colours,,

    Thanks liseworks, Labyrinths have long been recognised for their health benefits, promoting a calm mind and a place for mediation. This was created to provide a link between the Rose Garden and the Arboretum as you wander through the grounds of the University. :) Mary
