Inception at the hedge maze

We went to the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, for the graduation ceremony of our son. After the ceremony we went to the main building, which is the historical Hotel Del Monte. Rutherford B. Hayes and other US Presidents stayed at this resort hotel, which has a hedge maze garden.

 

I took exposures of this garden at a high point, and another ones at a low vantage point. I processed two sets of a photographic and a paintery HDR photo from three RAW exposures each, blended them selectively, combined the low and high vantage point exposures (which introduces this bent perspective), and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
