This is a pan to the left of Oriental Village 2 and you will see the umbrellas and tables on this too. I liked how the reflection in the water was so different to O.V. 2 just by panning left.
Ann, this is so very good! The reflections and dof are superb. I seem to always wish to have been where you were when I see you pictures. You make travel to these locations look so wonderful. You have another excellent photo.
Ann, This is a very nice shot: framing is pretty good, light is ample and gentle and one gets the overall feeling of warmth and being in a serene environment (I wish I could be there right now; it's -18 C here in Dryden, Canada now!). Well done!!
God's magnificent creation is full of beauty waiting to be captured - when you think you've seen it all, something you've never seen comes up and amazes you.

For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, His eternal power and Godhead;... Rom 1:20
"Where there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see." ~Dorothea Lange
Ann, the clarity is what leapt out at me when I saw this in the VB (and scored it very high). The composition and clors and lovely, but the clarity is remarkable!
"'Life is not a journey to the grave with the
intention of arriving safely in a pretty
and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up,
totally worn out,
and loudly proclaiming,
"WOW! What a ride!"'
