Hi Mr. Knightley. it's a beautiful and serene picture. the sunlight is adding that extra effect. The bush on left is spoiling the picture a nit but that's fine. Try to take more pics with different angles.Would love to see them too.

That is such an awesome picture. Well, a typical sunlit yard, yet it is a really good pic. So my nit picks: 1. The left-most ray is a little too bright and 'in-your-face-ish.' Maybe you could crop it. It'll look much better that way. 2.Arrgh, can't think of anything else. Maybe try editing it, to slightly increase the green colour of the right tree. (I'm not entirely positive about the result, but, hey, experiment.)

Very pretty my dear Timmy. Now it's up to me to point out stuff that's too late to fix, but what can you do right.
#1. The light, there's a little ray of white light that's thicker then all the others. And it's very distracting, and basically throws the picture off. You want to consider an eye path. Sure it could be up the river and into the light, but the light is overly powerful, so the eye is naturally drawn there, but they have nowhere else to go. So, the eye has to be forced over the rest of the picture. Natural eye path is key.
#2 There's a whole lot of green. Like a whole lot. So details get lost, you aren't sure where something starts and ends. I suggest you A) Look for a photo editing program on your computer. B) Invest in Photoshop C) Not invest in Photoshop and download Gimp instead. or D) Take painstakingly long in Photobucket
Either of those ways will allow you to play around with the contrast, saturation, and exposure. They're probably the easiest to use, no need to get more complicated. Just adjust until you feel it's best.
Lots of love,
Kamas

This is really nice. I love how you got the sunlight shining in the photo, although it does seem a bit fake, if you know what I mean? I can see what you were trying to do with the low angle, but to me it just seems a tad claustrophobic. Maybe if you zoomed out a little bit more?
Anyway, I really liked this and I think you've definitely got talent. PM me if you have any questions.

It's beautiful. The rays from the sun looks like a rainbowed pathhway. Nice backyard.

I am no expert on photography. At all. What I am sure of though is that this photo is pretty darn good! I mean, seriously!
This photo plays deeply with my imagination. It looks as though your garden is a gateway to another world, it's incredibly pretty. I think that it is quite clear to everybody that you have talent and potential.
I'm not going to include many nit-picks, mostly because I have no idea about the art of photography. I do agree with one of the comments made by Kamas though. There is a rather noticeable ray of light that is thicker than the others. It is quite distracting. Except for that, there isn't anything that looks majorly out of place.
One last thing. Is that seriously your back yard...? The most interesting thing in my back yard is a broken light...
Okay Knightley, and I thought my back yard was beautimus...well, I was wrong. This is amazing, and you did a great job on the photo taking. I love the light shining down and the little stream (or is that a ditch?) Its beautiful.

I love this photograph. (It seems to be a theme. People liking this photo.) I as well am very jealous of your backyard. If I were you, I would take pictures out there every single day. In other news, I love the gleam from the light. It makes the photograph soft. I also love that you can tell that the ground is a little muddy and wet. It gives the place a story. Nice work! Keep shooting!

This is beautiful!!! The rays of the sun coming through the branches looks truly amazing! You've captured the moment and you have an eye for photography! The only thing i don't like about this is that the grass looks a little blurred... I don't think you can fix that though now but this is really good!
Keep up the photography!
