 Taken near dusk at my favorite local garden spot. I played a bit with brightness and curves to compensate for the lateness in the evening.

Great photo. I'd like to have seen a little more of the background detail though (depth of field)

Nice composition, nice title, nice lilipads, and the only thing I don;t like is the lack of clarity on the central object, the statue. If you are making it a focal point, you should sharpen it up; or, in the alternative, move it. nice juxtaposition of purple on green though.

Excellent; the only thing missing is blue sky.

what is your focus. What of this pond should I look at... You've lined up numberous vertical objects that are confusing me. and what is the foreground marshmallow in the right corner? Consider this shot more.

nice shot. the crooked lamp in the BG is bothering me, dunno why. I was also trying to find something that was in crisp focus, but couldn't. I do like the prospective we are getting from the shot and the composition of it all.

I don't get any real feeling of secrecy or hiddenness from this.
