Beautiful overcast at the Botanical Gardens

Japanese Garden Bridge


The Water Lilies were in bloom. I love the soft complementary colors from the overcast sky.

Beautiful series Bryan, thanks for sharing

Those are very pretty. Great focus on the flowers. One thing I have noticed with my own photos recently is that large out-of-focus things in the foreground aren't generally attractive, as in the tree in the first image, but it's still pretty. I can appreciate the affect of it some in this instance.

Thanks Nick. I was torn on the tree in the foreground. It was blocking the rock and seemed a bit distracting, but there was nothing to do if I wanted this angle. I was also trying to practice having foreground, middle, and background elements in the photo to try to lead the eye.
Oh well, practice, practice, practice.

Thanks Izzie. Water Lilies have such interesting stamen. The red/yellow and slight blue petals makes for an interesting shot.

Nice series.

Thanks John

Nice series,I would crop the sky in #1 for a better look

Very good series Bryan. For me the OOF tree left foreground works well in this image leading me to the bridge and I agree with Binnur to crop that bit of sky.

A great job of the water lilies it's amazing how these seem to glow.
