Ciao Muhammad


The look is soft and with light pink color.
I was reading your cultural text and I see
that the variety of this Botanical Garden is fabulous,
his acres, the amount of each species that
you speak, it should be fantastic to walk over there!
I like the composition, soft and slightly lukewarm.
A good Sunday.
Greetings,

a peaceful atmosphere of quiet evening is very nice,

Hi Muhammad,

Very nice skyline shot of the garden, with the full moon over the distant tree. The contrast of the coloring in the sky with the trees creates the perfect mood for this shot. TFS
