Monet's Garden

There are many beautiful gardens in France, but Monet's Garden in Giverny is certainly one of the very best. Unfortunately, on the day I was there it was raining and I was trying to hold an umbrella in one hand and the camera in the other. To my surprise when I started to finally edit the images I took there, I found that most of the images were very good. The rainy weather gave me saturated colors. No blue sky; so I focused on the flowers and designs and learned a very important photography lesson. Use the light you have and compose your image based on the light.
