Beautiful, mellow light. It looks very inviting
Really nice, it's intoxicating in a way but very relaxing.....
Very nice Duane, I liked how my eye was drawn to the tree in the distance (roughly in the centre), making me feel like I was walking through the gate.
What lens (or lensor) is up front for that shot?
I'm glad you're not a camera salesman, your photos would sell it to me. Your photos look exactly the way I see things and portray just what I'd like mine to, though I'm a long way from getting there. How much PP have you done? And if you wouldn't mind, could you post the original so I can see what you had to work with?
A beautiful picture that both draws one in and leads one out! My eye comes in the partially open gate to the brighter leaves and then out into the welcoming distance. My first moving into it was very dynamic ~ scintillating, even, with the curve of the gate drawing down to the left, only to rise with the bush and shadows to the tree and then drop down again with that lovely fall of leafy boughs to the mown path striking a new direction, straight ahead! ~ and once one's gone down that way a bit, one has freedom to move anywhere into the space of the park on the right. All in all, a quietly glorious photo which anyone could enjoy for a long, long time. As for me, I just wanted to enter the gate, stand stock still, drink it all in and then just stroll in peace to my heart's content. Thank you for sharing it...

Sorry it took so long to get back to you P.H. But here's the original:
And that's a great example of just one reason why I love the GXR - so much scope to bring out the beauty of an image. Great work.
