this is a lovely image! a bit pixelated.. (oversharpened?).. but love the inviting mood, and tones, and textures.

great detail. I'd like him to be a bit off center though, because the black is such good negative space.

Rock Garden Sunset

I love this. I don't know why. I don't usually like this sort of thing.
The roundness and smooth quality of the stones, and the way they are stacked creates a sense of tentative balance. The lighting is perfect and the colors amazing. This is - imho - very Zen (in my limited understanding of the word). Marvelous interpretation. Marvelous job!

beautiful use of light.. great how the rows lead my eye into the photo. a bit overexposed in some of the bright greens.. but I think the whole image works well.

I think it is the textures that grab me here, along with the lone ant and bit of green grass. cool!

I do not like the selective desaturation of this photo. the composition is appealing, but looks unfinished this way.

Gardening

Lowering the camera down to get less of the tree line, and more of the rows - which would then lead your eye to the gardener would make a terrific photo! You have the right idea! The lighting on this is good, it just loses something in the way it is composed.

garden path

Comment:
this is a nice image. I like how it leads my eye into the photo, and makes me wonder what else is there. I'd like to walk that path. The tones are beautifully done, and the far railing just out of the dof is inviting. Love the shadow play as well. Maybe it is just me, but there seems to be a minor tilt to the path. I wonder if this could have been straightened just slightly.

Two For Tea

framing this to show only the two butterflies on the thistle (?) would be marvelous. I don't think the rest of the image is necessary.
