Description
Captured back on 6/28/09, at the beautiful Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden, located on the north campus of beautiful California State University Long Beach, in Long Beach, California.
These Garden pics, taken in the month of June with the sun directly overhead, were a bear to digifiddle because of the varying hues, tones, shades, and contrast reflecting off of the flora and nonflora objects.
In any event, a ZOOM would be most propitious.
Sayonara.

It isn't always necessary to fiddle! Very beautiful.

I digifiddle everything, whether it needs it or not. What one might call an addiction

That harsh light can be a real pain in the backside sometimes. You've tamed it well, and it seems that the water isn't too very deep given the shadows of the lilies...such a beautiful garden and marvelous capture, Harry!

You said, above, that you digifiddle everything---a photographer friend told me "sending my photos into the world without postwork is like sending my children out without clothes". That should put an end to any arguments to the contrary. I appreciate the challenges of these particular garden shoots---the light being so obliterating. Again, you've done alchemy in retaining the light and still toning everything down so that we have contrast, subtlety and flow. This one's particularly 'electric' in its light and shadow. And the water seems to be the 'ground' from which everything springs, you've used water quite well in this series. A very bright painting with strong shadows and contrasts; and that underwater 'bed' (which allows for the lily shadows, as Denise points out) gives a fine ground to the whole. A flame of a shot, with real dedication in the postwork.
