There is something uncomfortable about this picture.....its the straight lines. Nature does not have them and so when man alters the natural, it becomes unnatural.
I am sure that training and pruning shrubs to make a statement is very clever, but to me it looks alien, but at the same time, something that asks to be photographed. So although the scene is at odds with nature, it still makes a pleasing study. (well, to me anyway!! )
