Not sure what to make of this one Jimbo, is it a fountain or just some kind of wall decoration?
I think maybe you were too close, I think something like that looks much better shown in it's surroundings. You can always include a crop to show the detail.

Have a good trip mate, don't forget your camera and don't leave it on the roof of your car.

I found it out walking and it was outside someones farm. I know what you mean by being too close but there was little interest on either side. I don't think I cropped much if any. I have a couple and will see if I can pick up a little more without effecting the rest of the shot. Yes I am taking my camera and no car roofs tops again! Thanks Bud. JIMBO

Gary, checked out the other shots I have and they are very similar. I think if I had a different lens on it may have helps. Was using my Sigma 70-200 and it was shot at 70mm. Maybe my 28-75 would have been a better choice. I will reshoot in a few weeks and see if I can get something a little wider. JIMBO

It looks like a birdbath garden ornament. See the nests?. Anyway, someone has a sense of humour as the music notes flow both from the piano and the birds. Not sure if this image has a delicate glow about it or not, but that is what would make this image sing. The only thing I don't like is the notes themselves as they ruin the natural atmospheric quality.

For my eye the left side of the image is more interesting: the different colours, leafs (yellow, reddish) and green leafs above, contrast to violin etc.
