WA Park Arboretum, Seattle, WA. In this more intimate landscape I was going for a look and feel of tranquil solitude, an invitation to contemplate the splendor of the blooming tree.

Catherine,
I can see what you are going for here. I am not sure what your surroundings were but I don't think I would have cut the bench off. Maybe a wider view depending what was on the sides of you...I like the idea....
I like what I see (it goes w/ the title) except for the time of day... Try it again at (soon, the flowers wont last) shooting daybreak till dusk...

Nice! Looks like a neat place to take one of my couples for an engagement shoot. I could easily visualize a young lad kneeling at the end of the bench asking the seated young lady for her hand in marriage. (You look at scenes like this a lot differently after leaving the world of starving nature photographers and go full time doing wedding photography).
