Hi Chris,
Beautiful composition. The lotus covered pond makes a nice foreground to the pavilion and the trees.

Hi Chris.
Nice landscape and with lighting and great composition.
Well done.

Hello Chris,
A pleasant composition with this fine piece of beautiful architecture!
And the garden is impressive too, with the pond and the lovely trees...
Greetings,
Pablo -

Yessss ! I remeber this place when I was in Seoul.
Unfortunately, I lost all the films I made in South Corea with my Canon EOS 500N.

Again a new and diffrent view to what we are used too..
(mayvbe a little more contrast) To know that Asian people had constructions like this while 'we' in Europe still lived in aves those days.. Good one Chris.. (all well there?) TFS

Hi Chris,
Lotus pond for a zen mood! I like these splendid and unusual colors, here! And the roof of pagoda with the same form which the pine trees. Excellent composition, the little red touch lights this image just what it is necessary. Very well done! Annie

:) OK

Chris, do you use a polarizing filter? This seems washed out, too bright etc. I did a WS for you! A bit OE, but that can be corrected with a photo program! Hope you like it!

Linda

a bit of harsh light at the top
this also look very "chinese" :)

Good capture of the silence of nature. I understand your note well, these places loose some of their charm when crowded.

Tibi

The other side of the bassin compare of yesterday i presume! The tourist let the place clean and calm! I enjoy the angle...
Apparently it's they're that the phrase was say for the first time in full meditation : If a tree fall in the forest and nobody see it or hear it, is the tree is falling?
Apparently here for sure he died :(

Hi Chris,

Ralf

Nice one, Chris; a beautiful pond, a nice little building and it sure looks peaceful... I also really like what Linda did to even enhance the shot.
TFS

Hi Chris, this is another beautiful pov of the pond and the pagoda. They really know how to make peaceful settings and they have inspired our leisure time.

Very well done! Take care, Yan :)

Yes, I can see that - a very tranquil corner - beautiful colours and atmosphere.
Chris TFS this place with us (we are not crowding these gardens only looking through your lens....

Hi Chris, I like to see these style of gardens and lotus even when not in flowers is good to view. Beautiful composition with real colours. TFS. Murray.

This a good photo, however the focus seems to be at the center of your picture rather than the pond itself. So I did a little workshop for you. I hope you like it.

TFS, Donnie
