[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Jacaranda tree puts on a breathtaking floral display. Its vivid lilac-blue clusters of trumpet shaped blossoms appear in the summer, later falling to the earth carpeting the ground with a mass of color.
It is said that if you are walking underneath the Jacaranda tree and one of the trumpet blossoms falls on your head you will be favored by fortune.

I croped the picture and contrasted it. The sky was very dull so I changed it.

Hi Liesbeth,
Great composition with the road leading the eye in nicely. The colours are great too. I was just looking at some jacarandas the other day here in South Oz thinking that they'd make a great photo. Well done and TFS :-)
Cheers Tina

I'd love to see them for real one day, after seeing this even more, well done and thanx, M, (*_*)

Hi there!
Superb. I love this photo, because I live in the Jacaranda City (Pretoria) myself. I wanted to "do" somthing with them myself, but I think I have missed my opportunity, as they are all losing their leaves now.
Great clours and nice bordering.
Well done!

Hello Liesbeth, Indeed your pciture gives an idea of this beautiful tree. I could see the depth of the road and trees. Feels like to walk on that road. TFS, Vandana

Hi Liesbeth, love your unique treatment on this one! Excellent composition, and your colors really catch the eye. TFS, Sam :)

Hello Liesbeth!

What a lovely street with these stunning trees. I would love to walk under those (^_^). I like the way you framed your photo.

I might be wrong, but I think a small correction in the horizon and/or perspective could make it even better.
TFS,
Robert

Excellent shot in a very nice framme ,Liesbeth!So lovely and strange trees...
regards,val

Very interesting the way you have framed it. Your pp on the sky is very rich and teh leaves look unnatural but have their own special style of beauty. I really like how you have treated all aspects of this Liesbeth.

Hi liesbeth,
Nice picture. It sufferes a bit from the dark area in the left FG. May be it you had used a lighter colour for the frame, it may have been better. The trees are striking in their colour, Tinted sky works well here. Well done.

hello liesbeth;

very nice one photo.
best regards. Cem

Hi Liesbeth,
you have here a little chef-d'oeuvre, the color, the POV, the way you framed it, everything is well done,
bravo!
Greg

Hai Liesbeth,
Schitterende foto van deze aparte blauwe bomen,
erg mooi genomen,
Gr, Jacqueline

Lovely photo and a different framing too..
TFS.

Unni

Hi Liesbeth! Very lovely scenery full of vivid colors. I like the POV. Cropping some foreground will remove a lot of gray in the picture and will enhance to focus on the lovely perspective. Just a different but honest opinion :)
TFS,
Freddie :)
