Formal Gardens

This gorgeous chateau has been beautifully captured as a backdrop for its formal garden. The composition using the rule of thirds is lovely, and the soft lighting is very inviting. The viewer can almost feel the magical atmosphere noted in the comments and certainly invites a visit. Congratulations on 7th Place in Formal Gardens!

This famous garden perfectly fits the brief and is an excellent example of formal gardens. Everything in this beautiful layout is symmetrical and perfectly maintained. The composition that includes the lovely chateau and the trees in the far background is well done. Congratulations on 3rd Place in Formal Gardens!

Formal gardens can be created in intimate spaces and this photo shows a beautiful example. Viewing through the arch gives the garden a frame and it's still easy to see the formally laid beds and manicured bushes. Very lovely and congratulations on 5th Place in Formal Gardens!

This magnificent view of the Blickling Estate not only fits the brief but is a lovely composition. It's clear that the formal garden is impeccably maintained and the composition of the photo gives the viewer an idea of the landscape from near to far. Well done, and congratulations on 2nd Place in Formal Gardens!

This gorgeous photo is a wonderful example of a formal garden! The lovely designs made with plants and flowers show a garden that is thoughtfully planted and well maintained.
