I went to the library to borrow some CDs, which are located on the third floor. I thought I'd see what the view was like today from the men's toilet window. It's one of those windows that open out at a 45 degree angle - and there's a reflection of the azaleas below superimposing themselves on the scene.
Well, I expect that was one of the more pleasant trips to the restroom. The reflections are interesting, but I am not sure they add much to the shot. I think that a polarizing filter in your kit would let you fix unfortunate reflections.
What a absolutely beautiful park and that is what this is all about.
I don't know if it's because of the time of day this was taken but some of the colors look a bit muted... I would expect the flowers to pop more, so maybe a saturation adjustment or perhaps it's partly due to the time of day combined with the humidity and distance from subject (which plagues me even though I live in a dry climate!) that caused what almost seems to be haze.
It was taken at 11 a.m. Remember, there is a pane of glass there which maybe what causes the haze you seem to be able to see. There's a white flowering tree, and the pink azaleas are reflected on the glass of the window.

Very cool on the reflection! I'm amazed it's this clear through glass, too. Particularly in a men's toilet. :-) I really do like all the shades of green, all the different textures that come into play. A marvelous park.
