Japanese Gardens, a photo from Illinois, Midwest

Photographer's Note

I took a walk through Anderson Japanese Gardens in Rockford, Illinois. It is one of the most beautiful Japanese gardens in the nation. The Japanese bridge and the lantern look lovely in the early morning sun. This time of the year is very colorful here because all the trees and bushes are in many colors.

Hi Zbigniev I like the composition of your picture and the colours as well.
Even if the sharpness could be adjusted

Hello Zbigniew!
Nice capture with beautiful autumn colour but why so small size :(

Regards,
Elena!

Very good shot of the Anderson Gardens. The red bridge takes you through the picture and in to the trees.

Hello Zbigniew -

This is an attractive image with many things to like about. I like the composition with the lantern in FG and the curved bridge leading the eye into the scene. The colors are attractive and you seem to have managed the highlights successfully. The trees in the BG seem to be OOF or outside of the DOF. This is something you need to take into consideration with every shot with your specific camera and configuration. This scene should be sharp throughout. Well done regardless.

Thank you for sharing.

John
