I'm not sure if this is really a "landscape" image, but for a cleverly arranged entryway landscape I think it will work.

I was just strolling along mid-morning and suddenly noticed how the light and dark accented the colors around this birdbath.
I thought the designer had a good eye for such things, and out of appreciation snapped this image.

My wife tells me that, although it is, "...a pretty image, but for posting it's not anything special."
Well, I guess she's right; but I just want to appreciate nice things that make a guy feel good when he sees them.
And I feel good about respecting the persons who put something pretty for neighbors to see when passing by.

PS: Lost some resolution from this small sensor when cropping out the doorway (left side). I should have strolled along carrying the K1, eh!

I'd say it's not a landscape but it is a pretty garden scene. The variable lighting and colorful flowers and foliage make it quite attractive. You know, when posting on this forum, cropping an image has little effect on the quality of the image displayed, unless linking to Flickr, etc. Your own judgement is better than mine regarding what you see in an image.

Thanks, Mike.
You are correct about the posted images on this site. This one, however, does look a little bit soft due to the enlargement that came from cropping almost a third off of the left side (I couldn't walk any closer to get the image correct in the camera.

This IS a nice little garden scene that has really good mixture of lighting and shadows. I do miss the gardens and landscaping in Sacramento, particularly in the older neighborhoods like the fab 40's. I am still trying to figure out what to plant here in Texas Hill Country that the deer won't eat. We have deer grazing through our neighborhood every night. I also have an Armadillo that digs under the fence into my backyard. Interesting critters around here...

You are correct in your assessment, Angky. It is a very colorful, sharp and interesting garden scene. It reverts back to: "Less is More." Philosophy. Very nicely constructed image.

Thanks for the nice note, Todd!
Maybe disregard the idea of a deer-free garden. That you have deer and armadillos is something that I surely cannot find here where I live!
Capitalize on the critters; plant stuff that they will eat and then capture night-time shots of them when they trigger a silent sensor. Or light them up with colored lights--colored or UV, or night-time infra-red, etc.
Could be fun!

Now that certainly is an interesting way of expressing it!
Thanks!

You are correct in the less-is-more assessment, now that I look at it again.
A very simple scene, these folks created, and very attractive.
I was happy to see it--and glad to get a shot of it.

Well, so are we. TT
