I was flicking through a few of my pictures from Arley Arboretum last night and found this one out.
1/40 shutter speed to blur the water a touch and softly Ortonised in post processing.

That's great Steve!  The Orton effect really works well.
The brickwork to the left is a slight distraction but that's only a very minor niggle, I just wonder if you could have shot this from the left of the fountain and had a cleaner background?

Very nice. 
For some reason the Orton Effect reminds me of talcum powder.

Looks very painting-like. Makes it look lovely and tranquil. Not quite sure about the talcum powder thing though  | |

Not sure I like this processing steve - just looks a little dated to me.
