Hi Mike,

I have got mixed emotions on this and I am not certain whether it was your intention to stir them, LoL. OTOH, it seems as if we are looking at the children through the eyes of a "predator" hiding in the bushes, much like a scene from a horror movie. On the other, it is a very nice setting with happy children playing and enjoying themselves. That is why I am undecided.

Cheers,

No, no intent to stir any mixed feelings Cem. I just liked the ambience and, of course with my knowledge of the place, the branches added something about the garden that would otherwise have been missing. I like the sense of the growth crowding in from all sides - life crowding in.

Thanks for the thoughts though

Mike
