 Just slight touch-up on this picture. I added a border of course, and I touched up some distracting discoloring/imperfections on one of the rocks by the water

The combination of cooler, soft colors and the water fit the title very well - it really looks like a place you'd want to sit quietly and spend some time. I've got to ask, how did you do the inner border? Some kind of gradient image-to-fade? I'd love to know :-)

Lovely complementary shapes. I find it this a very busy image though, with the waterfall(s) competing with the foliage and rocks for attention. And yet, the first thing I noticed was the border!... a more subtle one, that doesn't draw attention away from the photo, would be better I think.

Excellent shot. The frame takes just abit away from it. 9

Paradise. Great colors, composition, like those foxtail ferns too.

A very beautiful artistic landscape that, imo, does not meet the challenge theme.

Good shot, very botanical, not over keen on the border

This is such a charming picture. If it was mine, I'd probably take away quite a lot of that border/fade treatment, as the image stands beautifully without it. Still, a well thought out and goodlooking entry.
