A Japanese garden in Russia! Very beautiful, and I really like the title of the shot because the first thing you notice when you look at this is the broken lighting hitting the earth and rocks and subjects below with the shadows of the leaves and branches throughout. It makes the shot dynamic and full of great contrasts. Really nice colors and tones, although I do sense a bit of a bluish color cast in the shot (maybe add a tiny bit of yellow to the highlights and midtones in Photoshop or some other post-processing program). Great vertical framing and good balance achieved between the tree trunk at the upper left and the Japanese sculpture and rocks at the lower right. Perfect metering and exposure and very good detail and clarity. I see there's some noise or pixelation in the shot, if you look closely. Did you have to use a high ISO for this? Or cropping a lot? Really beautiful though, it looks inviting. TFS!

Can hear the soft music, for sure it was sounding there.
Cheers Malik and Mary.

Hello Malik and Mary,
Strong colours as usual, and some strange play of light and shadows is captured...
Seems like we have the same heat wave as in Moscow, well not that hot but 25-30C is plenty for me personally!
Greetings,
