Hi Tony,

Lovely view of the ITALIAN garden.
Good tones, and the lights are fine too.
Well framed.
A place to be...
All the best.

Hi Tony,
excellent colors, are perfect! The geometric distribution of the gardens creates an pleasant visual impact. Great contrast of green and blue that forms a very natural composition.
The force of the sun on the facade of the building and the plants gives great brightness to the image. Great POV and excellent work!
Happy weekend Tony!

Hi Tony,
a place from another world, Europe in Ozeania. But the beauty is kept and well presented, a good POV having light and shadow and the diagonal view. Bright sharpness in a nice capture. Bella Italia.

Hi Tony,
It looks very Italian, yes. It is a beautiful place and you made a very nice photo with it, choosing the POV very well. All that sun light makes it attractive, but when we look at it more carefully we get a bit disappointed with the inevitable OE and UE, almost annoying on the lions and statues of the fountain.
Regards, José.

Hi Tony, I guess this is your house or home! ¿Yes?

The point of view that you used, allows us to admire the geometric shapes, a beautiful scene, full of freshness.

The tones are nice, the light is perfect, the perfect framing. Congratulations.

Hello Tony,
a real Italian atmosphere, indeed! Also the strong sunshine is as used to be in Italy during summer, unfortunately producing deep shadow in the left bottom part making the flowers there hardly visible. Well, that is the fair price of the Mediterranean idyll.
Have a nice weekend!
Laszlo
P.S.: I would be glad to see your pictures with the other gardens, too.

Well, Tony... being born and raised Italian I can tell you : this truly qualifies as an Italian garden, specially one of those you see on the slopes of the Como Lake, up north!
George Clooney has a villa out there...
Wonderful shot, buddy.
Great clarity, great colors and shadowplay, perfect POV!
Thanks for sharing!
Have a great weekend, my friend, I'll see ya soon.

Hugs,
Fulvio.

Hi Tony,
An unusuaal scene altogether from you... no beach, and a view of a house! You have nice light and colors here, and details are well sharp. The part in the shade comes a bit dark, but still OK!

Hello dear Tony!
It's a very beautiful panorama of the Italian garden corner. Light and colors are of very high quality and vibrancy. You've done your best to attract people to New Zealand instead traveling to Italy;-)
Best wishes,
Anton

Hi Tony, THANKS THANKS THANKS, thanks a lot my friend for the dedication for me and my Luciano, splendid view of a beautiful Italian garden with wonderful light and colors, great POV, very well done, Bravo, ciao Silvio

Hi, Tony,
what a pretty shot. I like all the different lines and patterns in this. All the straight lines of the pools and the curved ones of the fountain and the three arches in the building. It's lovely, too, how the color of the sky is picked up in the reflecting pools. Looks like a wonderful place to visit. Many thanks and have a great week,
Shelly
