The Osaka Castle in Osaka, Japan. A very peaceful part of a very busy city. The Osaka Castle Park covers 60,000 m2, and I felt like I'd walked every meter by the end of the day - and it was a hot humid day too!!!

This is a view of the castle's reflection in the large surrounding moat. Cropped to pano format, and tone mapped a la HDR style....

I like a lot the POV from that corner. Magnificent framing of the castle and its reflection. I like a lot the composition. Very good sharpness and beautiful colors.
My compliments and best regards

I;ve actually seen this live and this is a picture perfect, to coin a phrase, representation of the castle.
The presentation is really well done, the match of the reflection to the main image really makes it for me, and what makes it so representative of the "live".
Colors are nice and muted and add a reverence and the sharpness of everything in the frame is wonderful.
Nicely done, truly does have an HDR feel to it.
Thanks for the view.

great shot! nice reflection.

tfs!

Hello David,

Very beautiful composition, impressive clarity and colors, also the reflection looks great, excellent work. TFS
Best regards,
Sorina

nice place you captured in your shot, positioning and framing is very nice, details and colors are ok to, tfs

Hie David,

Wow your lens must be very wide to be able to capture the whole Osaka-jo and the reflections on the moat. Nice one there.

TFS,
Hong
