#5 is quite pleasing, and the reflection is great. :thumbup:

The colours in 5 are smashing ... have you increased them a bit?

My favourite is 2.
I am a sucker for backlit leaves and flowers so this tree in the foreground with its yellow leaves so nicely lit from behind just does it to me as a frame to the entire scene, along with the leaves at the bottom, those of the water lilies and those of the tree above those water lilies. I just like the composition and (!) lighting here!

#5 & 6 are very nice. The color in all of them is fantastic, as is the depth of field.

OoOoOo! The pictures just get better the farther down you scroll. The last one is my favorite! Nice color.. can I have one of those installed in my back yard? I guess I would have to have a back yard to start with wouldn't I? Meh.. details...

Yes I increased the saturation for 5 as well as all the others. I take pictures in raw. 2 is one of my favorite too, glad you like.

I wish my little backyard can be this nice too, as of now it's where my dogs do their business.

Stunning.
Reminds me very much of the Chinese garden I visited while I was in Vancouver last month. I'd actually say I'm 90% sure it's the same place
Brought out the beauty of it really well.
I didn't take any pictures the day I went.

Yep Vancouver's where I live and this is the only chinese garden here.

Your comps are very good, enjoyed all the pictures. I especially like #1 and #5, good use of foreground . The rock points directly to the building in #5, not only a good picture but I think it would make a wonderful painting also
