Description This picture was taken in the Parc de la TΓͺte D'Or in Lyon in Oct. 2003.

I love the way in which this scene reminds of Chinese/Japanese landscape gardening mixed with a little romantic chaos (opposed to the idealized "perfect wilderness" governing authentic east asian gardening).

I resized the image on 14/01/06 for easier viewing.

10/2/06: rotated the picture to make the bridge more horizontal, some slight adjustments on saturation and contrast, added a border. Thanks for all your helpful suggestions

No, it's not
you can tell if you look at the bannister
But you can see that bridges in parks can be pretty inspiring

Yes, it has a very zen atmosphere. It's definitely the most beatiful spot in that park

This is a really amazing picture! I love the reflection and the lighting is gorgeous. I think it would help to add some more contrast, or saturation in this photo, but other than that, I think this is an amazing photo. It seems almost like a painting, and I agree with your description about how it looks Asian and wild mixed together.

Coming from someone living in both cultures, your agreement means a lot to me

Anytime! ^_^ Living in both cultures can be hectic at times, but I really love being able to see things from both sides of the field.

I really love this. I think the way the scenery reflects in the water gives it an almost magical element.

Beautiful piece! This place looks so wondeful and peaceful... There is something surreal and almost magical about the reflections in the water. I like the composition as well - the bridge isn't too centered and I like the way the trees and greenery surrounding frame the bridge. Nicely done!

This is France? Wow, one side of France that I've never seen, it looks like a little paradise.
I love that bridge and the reflection, it's so unnatural but still fits the entire atmosphere of the photo.
I also like how there seems to be a little bit of mist/fog in the background, makes it look more mysterious.
Focus, lighting, contrast all look good

wow! those colors are amazing... and that reflection... damn! This pic has ALOT of potential. My only sugestion would be to u the contrast\saturation marginally and give it a simple black border. Nice pic

I'm not sure about the contrast/saturation tweaking thing, but you're definitely right about that border. I've been planing to do that for some time now...
