Into the Garden

I came across this perfect little garden while backpacking near Cashiers, NC a couple of days ago. It's hard to convey the magic of this place, but this photograph came closer than any I took that day. I'd love to hear your comments.

That really is a perfect little garden! I totally want to wander down the path towards the sun. It's magical.

Lori,
I think you did a wonderful job of conveying the magic of this garden. I feel like if I take another step, I'll be right on the path. This is the print that you want on your office wall on the days when you can't get outside :smile:

Lori: Major :eek:meter spike on this one! This is so fine I don't know where to start. The path leading to the sunstar is just excellent. One of the most pleasing images I've seen in a while. Superbly crafted image. ><> :toast:

This is gorgeous! I love the sunburst at the end of the path, like a path leading to heaven! :smile:

Conveys everything you could wish in respect of a walk through a secret garden. A beautiful image.

Beautiful and very well balanced! The placement of the sun at the end of the path is masterful. Everything about this makes me want to walk down that path and into the sun. Super!
