#269 Ruby Tuesday’s Romantic Garden

Romantic Garden

Romantic Garden, 2009

Charlene L. Amsden, photographer

Another shot of the San Juan Winery’s lovely garden. I was going for an “impressionistic” kind of shot. I like the swirl of colors and the way the composition of the photo draws my gaze to the “sweet-spot” in the middle.

    Ooooh I loved that shot!! It looks so pretty and you did get that impressionistic little twist to it. You should teach me how to do that, I love it! It’s genius!

    Jientje — I used my 200mm lens and manually focused on the center, which blurred the edges of the photo naturally so I didn’t have to edit the effect into the pic afterward.

  5. Quilly, this is art! Such a lovely photograph that gives Money a run for his money! 🙂 I would never think you’d sign Mr. Linky or leave a comment without playing along…

  7. Melli says:

    Yea… THAT’s what you can DO when you have a 200 mm lens! It IS gorgeous Quill!

  8. I think you’ve definitely captured ‘impressionistic’ with that shot. It is simply lovely. Monet comes to mind.

    Martha — thank you.

    Mary — thank you and I am glad you weren’t wondering last week when you arrived at Quintessentially Quilly and couldn’t find my Ruby Tuesday photo.

    Gattina — I am a romantic at heart.

    Melli — thank you. I do adore my 200mm.

    Very Monet like. I like your style. I just point and shoot.

  14. quilly says:

    Mar — I am glad you like it!

    HRGal — thank you! I appreciate your visit.

    Dianne — thanks! I thought the flowers deserved the most credit, but I’m glad to soak it up for myself! 😉

    Moosh — point and shoot works, too. I do it more often than I do something like this.
