west lake moment

west lake moment by ahsup.
despite hordes of people, both locals and tourists, there are still moments of relative calmness.

What a beautiful shot! I've seen some good sunsets, but this has to be one of the best.

The silouhettes of the people just make this an absolutely stunnig scene!

This is an amazing image! Thanks for sharing this. It moves me a little closer to a trip to China.

Can we almost forgive a sunset where the the sunset itself is a relatively minor part of the picture. Erm... no, I don't think so.

BTW, what's with the proliferation of teletubbies on these pages? I thought I just swallowed a youth pill and was sitting in front of the TV with my 2 year old son!

Not every image with the sun in it is a sunset. Nice.

It's a nice picture but it has to die

I could make up a reason like ... one of the guys appears to be growing out of a post or that it's an overdone subject or the crop should be tighter but that would be a dishonest attempt at masking my bitter, unrelenting prejuduce against sunsets. That wouldn't be right

its pretty, but i don't like the composition so much. i sort of wish you had pointed the camera over to the left a little.

Oh, good! a nearly sunset. Half way there already. It is undeniably beautiful. I like the structure, and the placement of the boat.
There are several bits and pieces that I would want to lose.

I like the shot overall but I wish the boat on the left was cropped.

I like it, but need to crop the boat on the left and lose the guy mating with the post. Other than that, nice.

Just because it's a sunset does not mean it sucks.

I love the architecture and the tranquility of it. And West Lake in China is absolutely beautiful.

the way the water comes within inches of the standing surface is interesting. but in this case i think i'd prefer the sunlight on the building rather than seeing the sun itself.

It's pretty good, really, but I don't like the boat on the left. Picky, picky, picky.

I recently took a return journey through my own personal favorite images of the last year on Flickr - and this was one of the truly world class images that stood out.

Since I've already faved it, the only other recognition I can give this superb image is to give it the BRAVO tag and comment. This mean that this image is nominated for inclusion in The Best: BRAVO pool where true gems like this get the extra recognition they so richly deserve. I hope you'll post it to the pool.

My compliments on a brilliant piece of photo work:

BRAVO....!
