Hi miq,
this is a good composition for colors.
The frame gives evidence that you were not holding properly your camera, so (don't worry I'm like that) ill propose friendly a workshop.

Wow. This is a sample of vibrant and nice purple...once i saw a picture that could be taken in a place like this: a black car with lots of flowers over it. the photographer took it in close up, so it captured the reflection of the building on the car and also the flowers over it...i hope you can imagine what i mean.

Hi Miq
Brisbane Streets in Queensland Australia, are currently looking very similar to this. There are many jacarandas trees here, too. Usually it means exams are close! Well captured. Good colour, but could be sharper.
Cheers!

These colors are not usual on TE. Very nice. Good shot thanks for sharing.
My wife and I are dreaming about Jacaranda trees, because we have many souvenirs when we were living in MALAWI which is not far from RSA.
Jean Louis. (I took your picture to put on my screen) thanks.

While upnorth we are waiting for our 1st snow, you guys are in full spring! Beautiful colours! But I can't help but feel tipsy everytime I see an image that is not level. An sometimes I do a workshop...

I lived in SA as a child - this brought back the memories from long ago of the Jacarandas when we visited Pretoria, I believe. Thanks for the memory!

I never phantomed trees blooming in purple (thought the only appear in dreams) until year 1999 when I witness the marvels of Jacaranda in Perth. "Aaw" its so beautiful it hurts heee. After that I can only paint purple trees haha. Thanks for sharing, its a beautiful pic.

A feast for the eyes! Great photo although the tilt could have been corrected.
It is a treat to see so many in one area.

Stunning colors and composition. I love the fact that you included the street in rather than just shooting the trees, it gives a great depth. I love the tunnel effect, yes there is a bit of a tilt but hey no big deal.
Love it, wish I were there too :(
