Flowers at the Villa del Balbianello

Lenno, Italy

in the comune of Lenno (province of Como), Italy, overlooking Lake Como. It is located on the tip of a small wooded peninsula on the western shore of the south-west branch of Lake Como, and is famous for its elaborate terraced gardens.
A number of feature films have used the villa for location shooting, including Casino Royale (2006)
and it was used for the lake retreat scenes in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones (2002)

An exceptional composition, Tom! The flowers and wall in such sharp focus with their rich colors, yet wonderful detail in the water and land beyond. That bit of atmospheric perspective really adds depth to this lovely image.
