A Shakespeare Garden statue at the Huntington Library.
I thought the red bloom with the green leaves made for a nice complementary color pattern.

    Oh, this wasn't on top of water, the platform of the statue maybe making you think that this is a reflection.
    :D

    Thanks all,
    I'm usually into more dynamic composition and more vivid colors but this one just struck me this way.

    Hi Tom,

    I love the composition and the drama of this shot. I know to expect great light and serene scenes from you! thumb.gif

    It seems a little over-sharp to me, maybe a bit crispy around the details. But otherwise this is a really magical shot, indeed.

    Thanks for the comment. This was shot with an olympus e 420 which is known for having a strong AA filter, making the images a bit softer than previous oly's. I think knowing this, I may be subconsciously over doing the sharpening to compensate. I'd better watch it from now on.
