Hello Svetlana,

This really is a lovely study in colour tones! You have included so much that makes a shot interesting: natural borders, water with reflections making a good lead-in, a bridge, blossom, avariety of textures and shapes, and soft light.
IMHO it would have a slightly better composition if a little was cropped from the top.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

I agree with Royaldevon that a little more cropped off the top would look better. I did a WS to see just how that would look. I really like the pine frame. TFS.

A quiet scenic, looking very calm and peaceful. Nature continues on and only a few, such as yourself, stop and really appreciate, then click the shutter an d share the moment. I await with cold winter for green to reappear.

Hello Svetlana

A very interesting way you framed the shot with the trees.
The pastoral scene is lovely with rich colours and excellent focus and details.
The composition is nicely done.

Hi Svetlana!

I first was a bit surprised by the natural framing with the trunks. But I like it in a way. It opens the door to the center of interest which is the bridge. The colors are wonderful, maybe the whole picture could need some level corrections to make it a bit more vivid.

Kind regards

Hallo Svetlana
This scenery surely has such a heavenly appearance. It looks so peaceful and the place where one can relax and just forget about everything. The green of the landscape is so bright and beautiful; the water looks so refreshing and cool. I like the reflection of the trees in the water. I think it could be an idyllic place to be. Thanks for sharing. It was lovely to look at.
Kind regards
Anna
