The warm weather will soon return-Thanks for looking-Ross

Thanks for looking_Ross

Hi Ross,   Yes, warm weather is to return.  We are having some indications, but it will be weeks before the snow melts.  Is this an HDR?  Do you think it's a bit too done?  The lilacs or purple blooms look great, but do you think the leaves appear a bit too surreal?   Nicely done.   Larry

This looks like an entry way to a classic estate.  I like the cobbled walkway, narrow picket fence, bordering lilacs, and extensive deciduous vegetation in the background.  It's a very pleasant view.

Hi Larry-No it is not an HDR image,Have not a clue how to create HDR"s I agree with your comments Thought when posting I had gone too far, but decided to take a shot,nothing ventured ,nothing gained.Will make revisions & post it later. Best Regards-Ross

Hi Stephen_Thanks for your kind words, mush appreciated. Pleased you like the image.We have a very beautiful park on the shores of Lake Ontario & during the summer it is crowded with visitors who bring their lunches & spend the day. best Regards_Ross

Hi Ross,

this image looks to vivid and harsh for my taste. Somehow the lilacs blend in with the lush green foliage. Not sure how I would process it. Maybe decreasing the saturation in the greens a bit, while keeping or boosting the magentas.

The garden and fence are beautiful. Looks like a very nice place to be.

Hi Christoph- Yes it is a bit much.Thanks for your comments.It is a beautiful spot on a hot summer day BestRegards-Ross
