Marvellous place. I like the reflection projected by water. It gives it a marble look. The bridge is dissociated by its contrasting color. I like it!

In Alabama?!!!!! That's a terrific picture!! The red bridge stands out in all the calming green. Very nice composition indeed. To me it's an oneiric scene. Would you say the top of the bridge is a little bit over exposed? If so, does anybody have any suggestions on how to correct it? I don't know for sure, I am still learning about photography! Nice shot!
By the way, I found a website of the place

Very serene, very beautiful Tahir. I'm surprised to learn that this garden is in Alabama. I don't associate Alabama with beauty, serenity or anything Japanese... ;-) Perhaps I'll have to rethink the subject.

I like everything about this image, from the fresh colors, to fine details to your composition with the bridge set off center, sheltered by a tree on one side and guarded by rocks on the other. I'd love to walk across that bridge. Fine contribution. I would have appreciated a link to the Botanical Garden, though it is easy to find online. Thanks for sharing your work and welcome to TE.
