wonderful point of view and the perspective is great. the colors are very good too.
somejhows the statues and the palm trees don't seem to belong together and because of that there is a fun and quirk nature to this photo

Huntington Library, one of my favorite place to visit in southern Cal
I tried to capture this scene couple years ago using Pano but my technique was not good enought back then. the pictures didn't match.
very good view if you can capture the whole scene.

Hi Wes,
Like you said, the statues do not occupy the center of attraction in the picture but the picture itself is very attractive. A really nice path to walk on and your colour and POV is very good.
Thanks for sharing

Hello, Wes! Very interesting place, I would say "alley of statues". Nicely composed and well saturated image! Low point of view makes the statues monumental. Good job!
regards,
Greg

Hi Wes:
I had a trip but i came back. This picture is very nice, i think it needs another elements to the center, but the sense are the elements that you selected. I am sure that people will like it. The saturation is very fine and the strong colors too.
Thanks for your notes

Bonsoir Wes,
Un jardin extraordinaire que vous nous montrez ici ! cette pelouse d'un très beau vert où s'égaie quelques fleurs blanches, le tout bordé de superbes sculptures. Je serais curieux de connaître la nature de ces arbres à haute tige qui forme une sorte de houppette en partie haute.
Très bon cadrage.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Wes. I like how you have the statues cascading down each side giving good depth. The colors are nice and rich. What I really like is the row of palm trees on the left along the grass. Nice shot Wes!

What strikes me the most on this posting Wes is the spot where you took this. I love photos when you get lower than normal standing position. At least that is what it seems. The statutes on both sides draw a very inviting line into the photo. Nice work Wes. Lets see more.

This is a beautiful place, there is a very good perspective and depth. Love the colors contrasts and sharpness. Very good lighting.
The position of the statues remember me some old palaces in Europe.
Very well done Wes.

Hi Wes

I like the subtle linear perspective & the green hede appearing on the vanishing point. Excellent color & lighting. Well done!

The pov is very interesting : being so close to the ground gives a lot of depth and makes the compos original.
Well done.
