Garden Path + Repost

This is from my favorite garden here in Southern California. The hummingbird migration is in full swing with the Annas, Fufous, Allens and Costas furiously buzzing about. Hard to believe a cactus garden can be so inviting... Canon 5D3, f11, 1/500 sec, iso 640, 100-400 ISL at 100 mm, taking a break from hummers to enjoy the scene.

Ed, The garden path makes a nice leading line and creates the depth. This is a beautiful cactus garden. Makes me want to be there.

Ed: a very inviting image with attractive colors, shapes and textures. I think an alternative version (not better, just alternative) would be to tone down the sidewalk as it's bright and occupies a large portion of the image. Richard

Love cactus gardens, some many shapes, styles, colors. Very nice pathway through the garden; I agree with Richard on toning down the walkway.

Thank you for your comments and suggestions Yun, Richard and Reno. Here is a quick and dirty tone down on the path. I hope it is not too crude. I appreciate your help with this.

Much better Ed, the brightness of the walkway isn't so overwhelming.
