I took this photo early one morning in the Gardens of Herrenhausen, a famous baroque garden in the center of Hannover, Germany. I used the Orton-effect afterwards to intensify the dreamlike atmosphere...

This is really beautiful, soft and dream-like. Love the streak of sunshine behind the trees, and the reflections including the figure.
Just spotted that this is your first upload - welcome to the site! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Very nice - I would have loved to see this a little larger, but fantastic none-the-less.

Congrats on the well deserved RC

Just came back from work to see this... THANK YOU very, very much for all your comments, I make me really happy Smile

To all of you who would love to see the larger version: it already is 400 pixel at the long side, so it won´t get a lot larger (even if I would find the replace buttonWink ). Maybe I can work it out... Any help would be appreciated Smile

Unfortunately there isn't a replacement button! You would need to upload a new shot. If you become an E2 member, you can upload bigger images (up to 1000 pixels on the longest side and up to 2000 for panoramic images) - I assume this is what Mike was talking about...

I think this is one of the better Orton pics on the site. Quite remarkable as your first upload. I came to it a bit late as I was searching for "Orton". Not too over the top, nicely restrained and all the better for it.
