Gardens In Black & White

Very unique for this contest and deserves reward, the only drone work and so stands out over the mass of images well included. Very nice clarity and composition, it does seem to slope away to the left though. Lots of detail and interest....

Lovely smoothness to the image and clever composition with the view, lake and hill giving leading lines drawing us from left to right diagonally. Even the shadow and branches up top give a vignette. Lovely sharpness to the structure and despite being b/w has a lot of light and sunshine.......

A beauty the moment I saw it, Infrared very well done. I love the softness of the whites and the dappled shade in the foreground. This shows how many shades of pure white there can be. The composition is lovely with the trees and the off centre view but the placing of the tower is genius, framed by other trees, lovely well done......

Beautiful, use of reflection is amazing and the landscape into the distance is magical. The perfect amount of contrast for me outstanding exposure, and the darkness just emphasises the scene...... Very nice thought into the composition and the position of the people is perfection....... Very jealous......

Lovely symmetry and use of the structure. Great clarity and exposure in a difficult situation if you were in shade, possible use of post work to remove shadows / lighten exposure in foreground maybe. Looking at the two distant hedges you are of centre sadly...

Lovely composition and use of leading lines, the off centre and positioning of the frame, give it more interest, the building leans a little uncomfortably but it's a nice image, I like the inclusion of a structure or building into a garden image............

Wow, catches the eye despite its monotone and almost blurry detail. The composition is nice and the partial exposure of the structure very pleasing. I am fond of vignetting and even the blur of the close up leaves over the left hand of the image. Lots of detail in the mass of tree and foliage but so much texture and patterns......Lovely...
