Description Beihai
The lake district in Beijing ( Beihai Park )
In the 15th century, the large lake in the middle of Beijing was divided two parts. Today the area around the northern lake ‘Beihai Park’ is one of the most popular and beautiful places in the inner city.
……..For imperial ice celebrations the ice was smoothed with glowing irons,
….in summer time the lake is used for boating,….and in the winter for skating,
……I love Beijing !!!!!
------------------------------------
I desaturated,…and then adjusted the tones with the curves.
I'm very greatful for your comments,....much appreciated !!!!!!!!

I love the contrast in the clouds that most of your photos have. I can never seem to get clouds as perfect as yours (Canale di Venezia )

I know there!!! I used to be there every weekend when I was little!

Oh, what about "Houhai(后海" or "Shichahai(什刹海" -- different names of that lake, have you been there? It's one of my favorite places! And part of that lake.

Haha, I love Beijing, too! Absolutely!

From the coloration I thought this was a grayscale pic of some dried up, salty old ex-river. Took me several minutes to realize that was snow, lol. Beautiful shot, and definitely much better for the PS work.

That is such a great shot.

The depth... gradient in the sky... the contrast in the clouds... the angles and deep black/white of the boats... the railing on the left... on so many levels.

Very interesting shot I really like the tones of this piece, I find the subject to be to busy though. Maybe if the sky was calmer I would be able to focus more, but thats just me I suppose.

Those contrasts...
The Sky...
The Boats on the land...

This is a very very well taken picture...
Gets across all these emotions of being able
to do nothing with out a little help from something
That contrast encourages the harshness
of the picture and intensifies it very beautifully!
Truly Well Done
