This is a view from the flower gardens at Portsmouth that I didn't think made the grade the first time around, but looks pretty good to me now!!

It is a lovely garden scene so well photographed. Why did you discard it the first time? The colors and clarity are very good.

"Looks pretty good now" ... she says !! I'd say it was "drop dead gorgeous" from day one. I love that wonderful tree amidst all that color. The white fence is a tad distracting but I won't quibble with such beauty before me. Now go back and re-grade some more pics PJ. Lord only knows what we are missing.

Don't understand why you've discard it the first time around as it's a beautiful image PJ. Could be the winter that make us desire for those pretty colours.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes
