What a beautiful garden and gorgeous photo you've created Lee. I was instantly drawn by the warm inviting glow of the evening sun. The twinkling bokeh in the background adds to the magical atmosphere of the garden and helps isolate the stunning pink lupins. The composition works really well with the lupins taking up two thirds of the foreground on the left hand side and the archway positioned to the right, with the pathway leading the eye in. I like how you've adjusted the plane of focus with the tilt-shift lens, drawing our eyes to the orange lupins on the left and retaining the details in the archway, which would have otherwise been blown out of focus. A stunning shot, well done!
