West Lake

I like this one very much...congrats

The water is so clear, and of course the image captures that. The canoe almost appears to be moving forward along the path laid out for it. Well done.

Very nice.

Absolutely beautiful. I like that the photo is mostly reflection and very little of the reflected. Are you a traveler? Your portfolio is so varied. Looking forward to more photos.

Thank you all for the lovely comments. And Susan, I've traveled all my life. I lived in England for a year and then Greece for three years and of course traveled all over during those period. Now, I mainly travel on business mostly to China. The joy of photography for me is that I always have an excuse to get out of the hotel room and start walking.

Very good composition and very beautiful reflection!

Excellent photo...

Love the color and the impressionistic feel of this. It works on many levels. It is not what I normally picture when I think of China, but now I will!

 

Best regards,

Tamara,

 

Thank you. West Lake is spoken of as paradise on earth by many in China. It's a famous haunt for lovers. They come here to sit by the lake and newlyweds even if they can't be married here will often make a day trip of it to get there picture taken by the lake. And of course, you have many lovely weddings on "house-boat" type vessels. It's surrounded by Pagodas (four I believe).

I definitely saved this to my favorites. This has the appearance of a fine oil painting and your composition is excellent.

Thank you Tracy. For me, it was the canoe. It caught my eye and I took the shot. It was only later that I realized I had all those wonderful reflections in the water. I'm hoping to take my family out to China one of these days and West Lake will definitely be on my agenda.

I love the mirror effect, great colours too.

 

Best regards Tore

Nice photo! Cheers!

Thank you Tore and Dr. Baev,

 

I very much appreciate your comments. It was a fun day, I got many shots and this was one of my favorite. China's West Lake is truly beautiful.

Beautiful picture , colors and reflection . Dan

A photographic oil painting indeed - rich and varied greens makes this come alive! Congrats!

Like the green colours and the reflections. The boat does a lot to the photo. Calm and peaceful. Thanks for commenting on my "troll".

 

Love Sidsel

Brilliant shot. Nice use of the rule of thirds.

This is a beautiful shot. The composition is super. Very peaceful. Great reflection of the water. Wish I was there. Congrats!

This is really nice!! You have captured a sense of motion in the stillness!! Kudos to you...
