There are some scenes that are so pretty they attract or cameras like a moth to a flame. Red object reflected in still water draws our attention immediately.
This image in the oriental garden is framed by the various plants in bloom. It’s almost like looking down a tunnel of green, red and pink, a nice setting for this image. The light has found its way through the upper foliage to light the man made structure and cast a strong reflection. Our eye has nowhere to go but to the subject in this photograph. The exposure and contrast is excellent with good detail in the whites of the overhanging flowers and the grain of the black bridge support.
I would like to see this illustration without the two people crossing the moon bridge. Their pink/red shirts do not blend well with the orange/red of the paint and their postures lack interest or action. I know they are just walking but we see very little animation in their movement.

Jim,
During tulip season, the trees are in full glory. Descanso has a very nice Japanese garden area with a nice bridge. I loved the colors framing the bridge.
