Dan, this surely looks like a Japanese garden complete with the reflection. I like the soft light and the blur effect. Nicely processed.

Nice image and applicatio, Dan.

Very well done. Nice muted effect.

[Jay Sheinfield]

Nice muted colors. I really like the soft feel of the image. Cool textures...............all in all, quite well done! I might opt to clone out, or tone down the two pink flowers in the URC, they draw my eye a bit.
Even so, just a pleasure to look at.

Dan, I really like this a lot. Nice soft feel. I agree that the pink flowers on the right edge draw your eye. Very nice work!

Thanks all for the comments.
A repost. I did not want to get rid of the Rhodie flowers because I liked the few areas of color, so I just darkened and deepened them a bit and added a bit more contrast, because I think it looks flat.

Dan, this is so beautiful. It has a magical feel to it. I love the textures of the Japanese maple leaves and the pine trees especially. The only thing I find a little distracting is the branch (?) under the pine branch (I bet it's propping it up?)
