Description Taken while walking with Adam near allotments in Swidnica. Gate to someone's possession. Even the dog came there to bark on us, but later he calmed down and posed for our photos. Can you see him? Those flowers you can see are white and pink wild roses.

Available as a print. Details here: [link]

Awesome shot here.

I have yet to spot the dog however... I'm going to go back and look again.

I like how the gate isn't exactly centered within the picture frame. The one thing i would change to the shot is the top is hot with light and it bleeds into the white border you put around it.

so, i would either go in and burn the sky in a bit more. Or I would put a dark border around it instead. However, first option may prove to be a better option because the white border helps push the white in the flowers.

Now. I'm going to go and find this dog...

I was thinking about giving it black frame but the white border fits white flowers, like you said
did you find the dog?

I've never read the book but comments on this piece encourage me to do this, so many people say that it reminds them of a "Secret Garden"

I like this, it's very natural, though a little overexposed (maybe my computer). (: reminds me of the secret garden.

now this reminds me well it gives me the idea of heavens gate and if you dont mind id like to use it for a photo manip. The composition it ncie. However i would have prefered this if it had more white in it to give out that pure and innocent feel to that it doesnt already

photo manip you say? well... OK, but please note me with the result, credit this photo in artist's comment (and leave a note there that it's not a stock, I don't want everyone to use it )
is it ok?

This reminds me of some childrens story that I've forgotten. Secret garden story. I don't know what it's called, but anyways this piece sparked memories of being read a fantasy story as a child.
It's a great shot.

Come to you from forum.
I see that almost all of your photographies was taken right horizontally in realtion of the subject.

This one - gate - could be more catching if you had taken in perspective, not just in front of it. Come closer to the ground, put your cam bottom, look to top... better if you go to one side...

Make perspective if you wanna catch the eye!
