Hello!Felix is a poisonous guy haha!

Welcome to CS!
Some comments I have:
The pillar on the right side can be cropped off as it doesn't add to the picture, I'm trying hard to find your subject, which I would guess is the super trees. You might want to have a look at the newbie section and stickies there. You can also google about basic composition techniques. Keep shooting, we all start somewhere

Thanks for the comments. Will do my homework on "Subject", "Basic Composition Techniques", etc.
Indeed, Felix IS a poisonous guy; in a good way
Thanks again.

Do consider getting a few books from the library on the topics you are interested in. They are a much more cost efficient way of improving one's photography.

Looking forward to more photos from you. Cheers.

Thanks.
This is the kind of encouragement to motivate a greenhorn like me.

I was a little lost & while trying to walk back to the garden show, saw these super trees within the shrubs.
