Date Uploaded: Jul 27, 2006

 Taken at Roger Williams Park in the garden area around sunset...I must have taken a 100 shots of different areas of the garden, but this one seems the most peaceful and zen-like..to me, anyway. Spent a lot of time avoiding a wedding photographer shooting a bride in the garden.
cloned out a small branch in water, some color from a car parked in the distance under a tree; levels, curves,
brightness/contrast, shadow/highlight, usm, cropped.

That is LOVELY!! Where is this at? You have made a perfect picture here. Rule of Thirds is good, the reflection is great, and sharp as a tack.

The dark trees in the upper left are very distracting. I do like the bridge and its reflection, maybe a tighter crop or a different point of view would produce a cleaner image.

This is a beautiful shot, has an Asian feel, which is what most people associate with zen. However, with that aside, the photo creates an air of stillness, and although there is alot of interest in this (the reflection, the stones, the trees in the foreground and background, the wooden walkway), it does not distract from the overall attempt at serenity. Great job from the 'Great Job Baggie'!

5: the tree in the foreground is spoiling the simpleness of the bridge and lake
