TL, my contribution to Helen's theme.
From my archives...stormy but wonderful day at St. Louis botanical garden.

It takes minimum 6 hours to casually see this garden.
Wonderful garden theme...Japaneese, English...ect
Lovely flowers, and lots of trees..
and beautiful views and resting places.
Like you see here, a little pagoda in woods, resting place.
Nature has so much to offer, we need little willingness to accept, digest and learn...and put in action.
She heels our sadness and pain by her kind touch,
she feeds us without any expectations,
she touches our soul with her amid beauty and power.

Thank you
Vandana

very nice lustful greeny scene. Just tought that the green could be toned down for the saturation a little

G'Day,
Exceptionally well composed. The Japanese style structure immediately draws the eye. Then the pond is the natural next step. Finally the excellent detail across the frame enticed the eye to move all over the image, but repeatedly drawn to the structure.

SO pretty Vandana! So you have been into the heart of America here! Someday you should come to Texas and I'll show you around...but our state is so large, it would take a couple of years to see everything....so be sure and take enough time off from work! HAHA!
Very lush shot and perfect for the theme!

You picked a good time to be St Louis - weather should generally be nice, even though I notice this was a stormy day.
Gave you soft colors to deal with rather than the bright sun. Like the way you have composed the major elements of the image.
