Shot in April at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. Aside from the intriguing architecture, this lonely-looking garden scene seemed a bit melancholy.

It looks so sad and lonely with no people or colorful plants. Like the POV you picked for this shot.

Kind of looks sad this time of year. I bet they look awesome in season.

Looks like a great end-of-winter shot to me. There is potential here... first, the stunning architecture that the lack of flowers and greenery reveals, and then there is the bright, inviting chair and the great companion-statue, plus the winter sun on the branches and the pale blue (but still blue) sky. I love non-trite pictures and this one fills the bill.

A pretty face is fine but what a farmer needs is a woman that can carry a pig under each arm

It looks a little melancholy but it is beautiful in its own way.
I like the mood, the depth and the muted colors. Very nice!

Altogether this is an amazing image.
I like most:
1. the symmetrical approach
2. simplicity
3. and as always room for thoughts/interpretations/ideas and concepts.
Congratulations, dear friend !!!!

Excellent DOF on this photo, almost gives a 3D effect to the picture.
Great work

The "Abandoned Garden" is melancholy. It could have just as easily been taken in the fall. The browns and grays point to a less than lively period in time. It reminds me of Pompeii before the mountains exploded. The owner had made it out of town before it was too late.

I saw this in the VB and was impressed by the nice symmetry and perspective and its superb clarity. I feel I could walk straight into this scene.
Nice work Steve :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Steve - With the bushes not yet growing, the symmetry of the walkway is striking. Thad
