Japanese Garden in Portland. I really don't think this image is amazing or anything. In fact, I didn't know you could bring tripods in with you so this was shot hand held. Sadly the focus is soft and a little blurred due to hand shake.
Next time I will have my tripod so I can try and recreate this because once everything is tack sharp in focus, dang. It will look good. :D

Honestly, it might look soft at full size, but it looks just fine here.

I agree....it looks fine here sharpness wise. Overall, the scene is a bit flat and dark. I think the composition is really strong, but the path and stairs need to have more presence with brightness and contrast. The bright sky through the trees is too overpowering now.
I think with a little selective levels work, this could be a great intimate picture.
