Jefferson's Memorial Pond

Took me a while to pinpoint the exact edit i wanted to finalize it in.

First off, it was a REALLY colorful picture and time (cherry blossom spring) and i wanted to punch the colors and show that off, but as colorful as it could be i would rather set a quiet tone so as to focus on the kids enjoying a moment in time with just them and the duck.

Let me know what you guys think and if anyone wants to see the original, let me know.

More of the trees in the back and less of the color in front I think.
The color in front draws my attention away from the subjects.

I like the color in front. It frames the children. Very nice.

i thought about that, but it was just too colorful a scene and i wanted to capture it.
Also, it leaves a symmetrical placement of the front, middle, and background which i liked. But thanks for sharing the viewpoint.

and thanks for all comments!

I wouldn't change anything. I'd be extremely proud of this picture.
