Comment from CREZart
So pretty, you have captured from a very nice angle with great reflections. I like the ferns included in the foreground. They add just the right amount of bright green color splash to compliment the beautiful bright reds of the flowers. This very much reminds me of the annual Azalea festival in Oklahoma. Nice work and I am sure made for a lovely spring day trip.

A lovely shot of the colourful side of nature. The garden appears to be glowing in multifarious colours. The light and shadows, colours and, composition have worked out well. Good luck!

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
A very beautiful & corner of Richmond Park called The Isabella Plantation. with the Rhododendrons and Azaleas, in full bloom in dappled sunshine reflected on the river or lake in the foreground along with the surrounding trees & glimpses of the blue sky above. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus. Good luck in the contest.

Well if you ever find yourself in London in May, make a point of going, it?s extraordinary! Actually I?m very pleased that so few people know about it, if they did it would be heaving, which would really ruin it!
Thanks for your review.

Comment from FBI GUY
What a brilliant display of color and foliage. The scene looks like a magical place. The reflecting pond enhances the scene. The lighting is just enough to show details without too much glare. The scene is filled with beauty and color.

Comment from Glena Jessee-King
This is a fine entry for the letter "R' and best wishes in the contest. The portions of sky seen with more trees and green foliage are very nice and complement the gorgeous Rhododendrons and Azaleas.

Most welcome. Rhododendrons are such beautiful wild and tame flowers...until they all fall.

Comment from nikman
A good looking entry into the competition posted here! Your fine and full composition offers us a grand view of that lovely park section. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well taken!
