Friends are like shining stars. You may not always see them, but you know they are always there for you.

It would be on my desktop only if it didn't have the two heads poping at the bottom left corner. uuuh. I know what you feel. there's always someone at these sites in front of you. I bet you would have pushed them into the lake if you could to get a better pic. But a very nice pic (minus the heads).
huh. I'm just so angry cause I thought I finaly found a perfect background and when i opened it, there it was the two heads.
Cheers

The head in the bottom left corner kind of takes away from the picture but otherwise it's a beautiful shot. Definitely like the clarity of the reflections in the water. Nicely done!

A little something? I just don't tolerate with such modesty! You either shoot out of passion or you don't shoot at all! Photography is about seeing things others can't see. --- I guess every girl goes through a photography phase. You know, horses... taking pictures of your feet. -[from Young Love and then Lost in Translation]

Very impressive presentation-and thanks for sharing info on this.The image has super clarity, composition and detail. Very nice mirror effect-the water is beautiful and magnificent landscape work on those trees. As above, only problem is the heads. That temple is such a lovely yellow-nice job..thanks :*>

Thanks for the nice comments. To tell the truth, I never noticed the two heads until you guys pointed them out. Funny how you overlook stuff in your own shots. I've posted another picture from the back of the temple, has a strong Japanese garden feel.
