Nice photo, I would not of taken this photo so close to the flowers hence the blurriness which I think hurts this photo a lot. Other than that you did a good job.

Maybe I intended to do so?
I was standing far, far, faaarrr away. I was almost back in Holland when I shot this....

I think the blur is just fine, adding depth to the photo. I would only suggest another shot of the gates, perfectly centered, including that short section of fence past the white pillars, on each side, for an entry in the Symmetry contest. Considering the perfect focus you get on your photos nowadays, the fine detail in those gates would have made for a winner entry. Beautiful shot, Paul.

Well this is for my fav's and its a lovely shot of these Regal railings and gate. The flowers really add colour and balance the picture nicely. Thanks for sharing and well done!

Gorgeous capture of the beautiful flower beds in front of the palace gates with such fabulous detail and colours. Bravo Paul

This is awesome. Are those gates gold plated? Think I will get me some gates like that. Great photo.

Daar je op afstand zal moeten schieten heb je een beperkte scherptediepte.. en tuurlijk zijn de voorste bloemen niet de schoonheid van deze foto. Maar wel de uitstekende scherpte op het onderwerp..the gate. Engeland moet ik een keer gaan zien met mijn eigen ogen! Thanks voor jouw view! Mich

This is such a very magestic photo Paul. I like how the flowers are made to be "unimportant" so to speak..and that the importance goes to the gate. Plus there are clear flowers there by it. I was at Buckingham Palace when I was ten years old as you know, so this is a real treat to be able to see that gorgeous gate. Thank yoiu so much. Verena

Nice shot little outoff focus at the front but still nice shot.
When i look at this close you have done the gates justice.

I like the blurriness of the flowers .... It makes the fence in the background look even more majestic ... nice shot ...
