Description


I just don't know what to say about this image. Amazingly, on May 5th, I shot this image from across the lake at the full extent of my poor little Canon Powershot S3 IS. I really wish I had taken this with a wide angle or telephoto lens, which I had purchased in June. I am just so blue to think how much better this image could have been. I seen a number of temples and this bridge, with its reflective image below in water so clear and tranquil, makes me think of crossing over into the next life. Notice the golden color of the watermarks at the waterline. I promise you I pushed this images pixel dimensions so you can get a full wide screen screen view for wallpaper on your new flat-screen monitors. So, be sure to view the full image. I hope you enjoy this image as much as I miss being at the waters edge, in China, Guangdong, Zhaoqing's Seven Star Lake.

This bridge seems to have slowly melted into the water like vanilla ice cream off a cone. Marvelous, just gorgeous photo.

The brightness of the bridge is overwhelming considering the relatively low contrast darker areas, and it is either overexposed or recoverable in postwork - as an example, the golden stars on the arches and parts of the detail of the hand-rail are only visible if you squint (or view your monitor from a weird position) but you could probably see them with your eyes on the day. Some of the above comments are inane pleasantries, but some hit the mark - your use of a reflection in the composition is spot on, and i think i would have to see the wider image you mentioned to make a judgement but this crop still works. The trees on the right provide some sort of breakup to the otherwise head-on perspective. Tried a black and white version? To me there is no need for colour here as there isnt anything of interest / beauty in the photo which needs colour - if the bridge were red, it might be a different story..but the strength here is in the form and contrasts. Both of which are intrinsically highlighted in a B&W
