p.1 #1 · Japanese Gardens visit in Portland

Just a couple of many from my visit to the Japanese Gardens last weekend. It was gorgeous. Thoughts or recommendations, please.

Nice set Wes - I am hoping to head over there tomorrow morning to see what's left. I like that first shot from the bridge - and it looks like you left some colors for me this weekend

Great pics. You should make a mural out of Nr1.

The images are great.

I prefer more saturation - but - that's me.

Would really like to visit those gardens some day.

Nice images, I visited the gardens for the first time last weekend. A billion other people showed up too. I was immediately caught by the difficulty it was to shoot something that was a unique perspective at this NW icon. Your takes are wonderfully beautiful and the second one is a singular vision, nice job. Rick

The 2nd is visually challenging, and very nicely done!
I wouldn't mind the colors punched up a wee bit in the 1st.

Thank you all for your comments. I feel like I must be improving from all the kind comments these images received. The more I look at the 1st image though I think the highlights are a bit too light. I'll have to play with it some more.

One more quick note: A big 'hi' to Alan. It was a pleasure meeting you at the gardens last weekend. Also as I mentioned we did head up to Ridgefield later that day. Spotted the first bald eagle of the season. Yahoo!

I just checked out your post & I love it. I get how you printed it but how then did you connect it all together into one mural. I am jazzed to give it a whirl.

On the same note we did something similar to this method but created a frame that looks like a window. So I can look out my 'window' that hangs over my kitchen sink at a trail in the Catskill Mountain while I'm here in Oregon.
