Magnolia Gardens, S.C.

This is a beautiful scene! You did a nice job framing it. I would suggest a slightly different crop though. Almost all of my shots are cropped....rarely do I ever just use a shot straight from the camera...I'm not that good! LOL! I took a sample of your thumbnail image and did a crop on it that I think would help. I think the less of that bright white sky you have in this the better. Bright overcast skys tend to be a distraction in pictures and draw the viewers eye away from the main subject. When shooting on a day like this I tend to keep as much sky out as possible. I'll include the cropped version I did so you can see what I'm talking about. It won't be crystal clear because it is a thumbnail, but you should be able to see where I made the cuts. I also think that with some color saturation this shot could really pop out at you! I'll help when you are ready! You do have a good eye G-ma!
