Beautiful light captured here, excellent saturation. Your low POV brings a more intimate perspective of this garden, I can almost smell the air. Very well captured!

(btw Descartes' philosophy started off well - i.e. 'the only certainty is my own existence' ... just a shame he went on to extrapolate that all other certainties could thus be determined by belief. Although in a funny way, his determination that the universe is subjective seems supported by elements of quantum physics. Go figure.)

great soothing picture

and about the enlightenment perios ( Le siècle des lumières)

A word from a great French Enlightenment writer:
Je ne suis pas d'accord avec ce que vous dites, mais je me battrai jusqu'à la mort pour que vous ayez le droit de le dire. »
"I do not agree with what you are saying, but i will fight to the death for your right to say it."
François-Marie Arouet, most famous under the name of "Voltaire"

A very nice garden indeed, wonderfully captured, Vandana. Nice compo! Even though rain can be troublesome, it tends to enhance luminousity and saturation afterwards, especially with a bit of nice sunlight ;o)).
