Today was a great morning for shooting roses..no wind and the air was calm. I decided to play around some more with some Panos. This may have a slight tilt to it....I got it level as best I could....
Oh... I don't know about this as is... I like it better with some cropping from both the top and the bottom, though. Cuz I'm thinkin' that the dreary looking sky and all the space in the fg detracts from the garden design and the color of the roses. Nit, nit, nit...

Wow that place is bursting out with color now! I haven't been up that way since I moved down to Eugene. It's amazing that you got this with no people in it!

This is in my corner of town, Darren - you did well in finding the gardens empty! I love the pan, and I really like the foreground just the way it is, since it frames and establishes context for the gazebo (which is the focal point, to me). My only suggestion would be to crop out some of the sky, or consider lightening some of the dark gray areas toward the cener of the image - it's viewing as somewhat purple on my monitor.
Neat perspective. It looks like you might have needed to step left about a foot to center this exactly or maybe it just needs a touch of counter clockwise rotation. It just looks a little un-centered or tilted to me. Maybe both. This would probably be even better if you were higher by about 3 or 4 feet.

Ned, have you been here yet this year??
We're lucky to have a park like this!
