Garden View

At Roosengaarde, Skagit Valley, on April 9th. We're looking at a view over a mixed planting of tulips, daffodils, jonquils, and hyacinth through two huge rhododendrons across acres of daffodils in bloom in the field to the Cascade Mountain foothills in the background. When I came around a corner and saw this from the parking lot side, as you see here, my jaw dropped, and I stopped so quickly I almost came outa my shoes!

D700, 24-70 @ 70, f 8, 1/80, ISO 320, cpl, +0.67EV. Handheld. I did clone away some "festival objects" and a very narrow ribbon of pathway behind the flowers. Pruned some dead flowers. Luminosity mask on the sky.

Very much hope you enjoy. Comments, opinions and critiques appreciated.
