What an incredible image capturing this splendid Bentendo Hall and Japanese garden in Kyoto. The autumn colors add so much to this very special capture. The reflections in the water make it the perfect artificial architecture picture, and I can't even imagine how cool it would have been without ripples.
What an incredible photo capturing the definitive artificial garden playing chess. You truly filled the frame and balanced the image with excellent depth of field. Each chess piece contributes to the game, and the photo shows an excellent composition, bringing this surreal environment to life. The soft lighting further adds to the overall atmosphere by adding a feeling of a somewhat serious tone.

This photo embodies the essence of this competition, and the level of detail in the Klein-Erzgebirge model is superb. Your detailed explanation and exactness add to the backstory of the capture. It's too bad this park has solvency issues because it's truly remarkable. The angle of the capture is good because it captures the whole neighborhood and reflects on the way.
The beauty of this manmade garden creates a scene that looks natural but has hints of manmade components (benches, sidewalks, and moved lawns). The flowers provide bright reds, oranges, and pink that contrast well against multiple shades of green on the leaves of the trees. The depth of field is marvelous in this photo and captures the spirit of this contest.
