I think this is beautiful! If I were in the marketing department of Zilker, I would want to purchase this from you!

Nice shot, IMO a flower or flowers would have made it better.

like the shot but wish the lettering were higher up. Looks like it's crushing the leaves!

A little to colorless for me for a botanical garden but nice dof on the plant.

Interesting choice to represent Zilker (which I know). The image is moody with great DOF, but as a postcard.... hmmm.

this has nothing to do with my voting but i got confused because the cursive Z is vaguely reminiscent of a normal cursive capital L. amazing use of the shallow dof

There is an interesting optical illusion here - I get the sense that the image is a trapazoid - it's not, but that's the illusion I get. The reason is that the title isn't level. The Austin, Texas is and that's why. Interesting effect - I have to remember that. I might have picked a little better subject than the one the author did, but the DOF control with the image is terrific. There are two ways this could have gone - I think you picked the correct concept, but the wrong subject. However, the font and font color matches the theme and overall tone of the image.
