Very beautiful view, but to make the composition more appealing to the eye, the Cycad in the foreground should be off centered (rule of thirds apply here) Great colors but a bit soft in the focus. Thanks for sharing this beautiful part of your country.

Great viewpoint and wide depth of field. Love the exotic sight of the palm, reminds me of some tropical island. A great entry, there's green everywhere. Focus, composition and lighting, high five. Well captured and is a pleasant sight.

Beautiful presentation Notes & Photo. The way the blue tinge colors, enters the trees highlights a creativeness that has flare.

Great framing.

Love it

Nice idea, but the colors are over saturated and the composition is not so good, the palm takes too much of the fame and it is to centered

thanks for sharing

Comment from Life is but a dream.


You have done a gorgeous job in showing us the beauty of this park. It is pristine and if I was going to Lahore I would like to stop by this place. So your image has succeeded in captivating me.

I see you enhanced the green and have transformed this from a photograph to more of a painterly feeling. Did you know that when you saturate an image you can saturate only the greens, or only the blues, only the yellows etc. Here it feels like you just hit the saturation button and POOF - ALL IS saturated, including the white flowers which now have a blue tinge on them...they are white are they not? Furthermore, you have a blue saturated aspect on the trees. You have to be careful not to overcook the image or as they say "done to death" look about it. Now, having said that, perhaps it was your intention to push this over the top and give it a tinge of surrealism, and if that was the case you have succeeded. I see you have this in a Seeing Green contest and I do believe that is up for the "judges" of FAR site to evaluate....they are a tough bunch (I ought to know as I've been submitting work for two years and have only won once...ha ha ha ha).

I like your compositional style and how you have included that palm in the foreground for it looks like it's holding up the whole background and is warmly inviting our eyes into the canvas for more treats to still be seen. And I am not bothered by the crop at all. The curve of the pond and fence in the background give us more visual meat to chew on and guide us along.

If you are using photoshop I would clone out that blue pop in the background right at the left as it confuses the eye and takes away the attention from the entire scene.

Your contrast is nice albeit harsh but that is your intention as an artist.

My husband and I travel extensively and Pakistan is one place that intrigues me, but also scares me a bit as I am a blonde western woman. Still it is on our bucket list.

Thank you for showing us your beautiful country through your camera.

Such a beautiful and clean park area. Love the plant in front. I think it is type of palm. Good DOF. Very nice pond area in the garden. Color and contrast good. Light good. Framed well. Thanks for sharing.
