Nice peaceful place. Somehow, it brings to memory some places from my childhood. Thanks for that too...

The center walkway isn't perpendicular to the camera giving the composition an asymmetrical feel when the composition begs for symmetry. I like the location. Brights seem too bright. Good luck in the challenge.

pretty, but I wouldn't really put it into an HDR competition. Love the slightly blurry textures and muted tones. 5/10
