What a colorful Spring image. I like all the layers of flowers/colors. The unexpected location of the plants/flowers - creates some interest. On the other hand - it's a heavily staged shot which (at least to me) is a bit less appealing that something more natural. I see you're shooting with the R5 mk ii - interesting to learn about your experience with that camera - it's on my wish list - great specs/reviews.

This is a fun image. At first it seems like a pretty scene about flowers and bikes. But really your composition is a lot about curves: the path, the row of flowers in the back, the bicycle wheels and the planter. Well-seen scene.   Posted: 05/08/2025 11:38:10

Very nice creative image, perfect for Spring! I like the colors of the flowers at the various locations throughout the photo. The composition is very good as well. The layers of color also stands out to me...the dark wall, the row of flowers, the grass, the pathway, and then the main area with the bicycles & flowers. Nicely done...thanks for sharing!   Posted: 05/08/2025 12:59:31

Thank you for your comments. I wish I could say that I set this scene up, but the wonderful folks at Garvan Gardens in Hot Springs, AR did it all. I did do some cropping and a small amount of editing in Lr, but luckily, I didn't have to do much. Thank you again.   Posted: 05/08/2025 18:23:01

Cindy,

This image really captures the feeling of spring! I think of parent and child getting ready to plant their garden. I like what Will said about the curves - they really add to the energy of the scene.   Posted: 05/09/2025 04:32:51
