Path In East Garden Photo

Photographer’s Note

A path in the east garden of the Residence, Wurzburg. In the background is the eastern facade of the Residence. The garden was designed by the Bohemian Johann Prokop Mayer in 1770 to complement the building design of Balthasar Neumann. Although the English style was predominant, Mayer set out garden sections which either lay parallel, cut across one another or were at angles in strict geometric design but towards the south west in the English style. More photos of the garden & building in future post.

After opening up the shadow area during post processing I was delighted to discover the "star" light effect through the leaves ... totally not intentional. Thanks for looking. Critiques are welcome.

Hello Latiff, the stright path with stright shrubs are what make me go into your shot. And well, just reading your note is how I found the beautiful star on those pretty trees.
All composition I think is great.
Thanks for Sharing
Regards.

Hello Latiff, this is a good capture of this tunnel of trees. You've done a very good job with your depth of field in showing us very good detail right from the start to the two people at the end of the path (nice inclusion). The building on the side makes a great backdrop, and your timing was good, selecting a fall timeframe with the leaves just starting to turn added some great colour. Very nice.

Thanks, John

May the star affect was not intentional but the PoV was surely intentional and well chosen! The arch made by the branches of the trees is very beautiful and create a stunning perspective. Original colours and fine details! The building's architecture is beautiful and looks to be in a good state of preservation. F/10 contributed a large sum of quality.
Warm regards,
Athanasios.

Hi Latiff. I like the perspective of this canopy leading deep in the frame. Good exposure management in making this image sharp and pleasurable to view. Thanks for sharing and best regards. Jusni

Hi Latiff
Very nice composition, with warm colors and good perspective. Maybe a little more contrast will help as the sky is already burned and you don't have anything to lose.

Salam Latiff,
I guessed a lot of us found effects unintentionally. Like I discovered that starry effects start to develop when we used smaller aperture starting from F10 upwards.

This garden developed during the Renaissance was a time of the middle ages in my island state. I would imagine, Sabah was a country much like that of countries in the middle ages when elsewhere, garden parties were thrown with the accompaniment of woodwinds and harps.

Such contrast.

Rabani
