So there is nothing that is particularly wrong with the shot except that the enchantment aspect was not exploited.
You certainly had a good idea and you managed to make a very good capture. The composition is good. My only advise is that when you shoot still subjects, I would opt for the lowest ISO and take advantage of the smallest aperture even if you have to go down to 60th of a second which you can very well manage by holding the camera steady.
Another idea for this subject is to have gone for a close up at ground level of the plants. Drop a red or blue tint layer, as explained above and bingo, the enchantment is there. |
THANK YOU very much, Daniel. The post processing procedures that you've suggested are just what I was looking for but didn't know how to do. This is such a good learning experience. I actually have pictures from the ground level but like this photo, they were also a bit flat ... I had no choice for the lighting because I went to the park at noon - I only had a day to visit. I will surely apply your suggestions to my other pictures. Thanks again! |

| Brilliant scenery. The relationship to the theme is a bit thin, but acceptable. |

| Neat idea, good location. Too bad you couldn't get the DOF so as to bring the nearby plants in better focus. |
