The sun shined so brightly on these plants and trees at the Portland Japanese Garden, making the yellow-green hues of nature come to life.

Magnetic Aqua and Pink Garden Water Reflections

One of the oldest Japanese Gardens in the area with traditional pagodas, plants, and lakes all around.

I decided to manipulate the image with various contrasts and effects to bring out the lush textures of the scene. Different shades of aqua green leaves and lavender pink skies reflect upon the waters, offering a soft, dreamy quality and aesthetic to the garden.
