A Garden Somewhere

About This Group

• No animals please. No close-ups (macros) or single flowers. We do not accept black and white. While we want you to edit and explore editing techniques, please keep your photos as natural as possible. Please, no collages.

This group specializes in photos that show a garden somewhere, in any season. We will accept photos that SHOW OFF THE GARDEN DESIGN. We’ll also accept photos of flowering trees, and colorful flowers etc as long as they are incorporated in a garden design. We don’t accept butterflies, insects or grasshoppers etc. We WILL accept people in the shot if they are NOT the focus, we understand some public gardens it may be hard to avoid people.

“A Garden Somewhere” will accept photos of the following: Formal gardens, public or private gardens, parks, city or town squares with buildings in the background, flowering trees & flowering shrubs, fountains, ponds & landscaped areas, etc; however, they MUST BE INCORPORATED into the garden design. Be creative. Lets see those fountains, statues, herb gardens, trellis’, well you get the picture (pun intended). REMEMBER, NO SINGLE SHOTS OF FLOWERS, we need to see a garden. Please share WHERE your picture was taken (that is a nice way of saying.. THE NAME OF THE GARDEN MUST BE in the description somewhere).

We accept photos of garden scenes that show off the 4 seasons – Fall/autumn, winter, spring and summer.

Weekly features will be chosen on Sundays and challenges will be come as often as we come up with ideas. Send us your idea for a challenge.. we are all ears!

CHALLENGES: PLEASE SUBMIT AN IMAGE IN KEEPING WITH THE GROUP FOCUS, THE CHALLENGE FOCUS AND IT MUST BELONG TO THE GROUP. AS HOSTS WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REJECT AND REMOVE IMAGES THAT ARE NOT IN LINE WITH THESE RULES AND LET YOU FIGURE OUT WHY IT WAS NOT ACCEPTED.
