[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken in the gardens of Corsham Court - An Elizabethan house of 1582. Home of the Methuen family since the middle of the 18th century.

"The magnificent landscape garden spreading out to the north and east of the house was begun by 'Capability' Brown and completed by Humphry Repton. There are smooth lawns with fine trees and a ha-ha. There are also herbaceous borders, box-edged flower beds, secluded gardens, a rose garden and a lily pond. In the spring thousands of daffodils bloom beneath the many rare and exotic trees that flourish here".

Hi Peter,
Very nice reflection indeed..!
Good picture and good framing too, good light and colours.
Best regards,
Patrick

Hi Peter,
The koi in the foreground is a fine detail, it is directing the viewers eyes towards the center and the fountain there. The water is further directing the eye to the path in the park.

Very fine composition!

Regards
Gunnar

Hello, Peter.

Very nice. Compositions such as this are terribly difficult with the immense contrasts between the darkest areas of the pond and the bright reflections of the sky. But you've managed to achieve a perfect exposure - the distant lawns and trees are perfectly exposed too. A very nice touch with the goldfish in the immediate foreground.

Good note too - I must confess that I had to look up the meaning of "ha-ha" but now I know the meaning of it, I'll try to slip it into conversation at every possible opportunity.

Well done!

Best Wishes,

John.

Nice crop.
The green shades are wonderful, and so is the orange-pink fish in the foreground.
