Brussels Gardener
They just love their hedges in Belgium… Perfectly manicured hedges. I managed to capture this lone gardener on his way through the maze with classic stone wall buildings as his backdrop.

Brilliant shot !!!

Paul the treatment you have given this image makes everything seem insignificant except for the gardener and his hedges. And that is no mean feat considering the magnificent architecture that forms this backdrop.

you made the bg look like a massive backdrop for grand opera. the lone gardener adds poignancy. you display it all here, brother – keen eye, deft touch, storyteller’s gift, singular treatment, all wrapped up in wit and empathy. bravo!

Nice. Love Brussels. Love Belgium. Such a nice place. Perfectly shown.
Deborah Parkin
a wonderful story to be told here – such poignancy with the gardener looking so small against all the grandeur – eloquent and rather sad but so beautifully told.
ozczecho
Cool shot….love your composition and also the colours you are getting…awesome.
MattTucker7
Beautiful, gorgeous shot! Love the colors, love the depth.
Gerijuliaj
Lovely dreamy romantic shot Paul due to your deft hand at producing such soft colours and tones. (just catching up on your work – glad to see you have seen much to inspire). The ‘poor’ gardener certainly has his work cut out (excuse the pun) with all those topiary bushes! Looks wonderful.
beachfires

Great Picture Paul!

So lovely. The background looks like it could be a huge canvas painting rather than real buildings. And the muted colours. Wonderfu.
billyboy
This must be from the back of the king’s palace looking up towards Place Royale… I’ve been in Brussels 41 years and haqve never actually seen this wonderful view, and your processing of it makes me appreciate the hedges which I’d never noticed either. Maybe you should come back and give me a guided tour!! Nice work, Paul!

Thanks Billyboy – maybe next don’t be out of town and I can show you the finer points of Brussels… and catch up for a beeer…. LOL Thanks mate : )
