" A 'Forever' Kind of Love" by Midwest_Shutterbug

The elderly owner of a small company lost his wife. They had a long, healthy
and loving marriage. In her memory, he created this Memorial Garden.

Their story is one that touches your heart.

Nice shot and a nice story to go with it. You have 2 levels of framing going on:
the umbrella, water drops and pedestal, and then the foliage and flowers on the outside.
The soft focus on the bushes and flowers helps focus attention on the statue.
Just my opinion, but I sort of feel that the figures are 'overwhelmed' by the rest of the image. Some of that may be the size of the pedestal, and some by just the size of the shot.
Not sure, but I might try either a tighter crop, or maybe just brightening up the figures so they stand out better from the dark tree immediately behind them.
