You compiled some amazing photos of that Rhododendron garden. The video and music are peaceful and relaxing. I would say it's more of a slide show really, and as such, I liked it a lot.
ReplyDeleteI watched it on my 25" Mac monitor, and then reduced it to half screen to get a better resolution.
Thank you - you are right, it is more of a slide show. :)
DeleteI enjoyed the slideshow a lot. The Goose portrait seemed not to belong with all those beautiful shots of the garden. Music is always how the person hears it. It seemed a little slow for the presentation. But that could sure just be me. Nice music though. I watched on my 17" Lenovo laptop. Looked good.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa, I changed the main photo. That did cross my mind earlier.
DeleteYou showed your beautiful photos well, Phillip. I saw only one shot early in the series that looked fuzzy to me. I enjoyed the musical background too - it fit the scenery. I watched it on my desktop computer, full screen.
ReplyDeleteOk thank you Kris!
DeleteJust lovely. Thank you for all the hard work. My only complaint (?) is that it changed images so fast. Each picture was so beautiful and I wanted to digest them all.
ReplyDeletePerfect music choice. It was clear and tranquil, like the water of the pond in your pictures. I’m not familiar with the composer, but I think they love Bach.

Hi Phillip - oh, you made me miss Portland for a few minutes. It's been a long time since I was last at the garden and it has really matured into a spectacular place. I watched on my 21.5" late 2015 iMac and the quality was good. I went to YouTube and went full screen. Though I liked the music I felt, like Lisa, that it was just a little too slow. I did like the goose portrait - it's part of what the garden is all about.
