Big big success for this picture, which was for more than one year the
most favorited, commented and "most interesting" in my
flickr photostream. Probably one of the most downloaded and used with
or without permission as well.
This picture has been used sometimes without permission, misused and
maybe even stolen or usurped. Which letter you don' t understand in
the word "COPYRIGHT"?
One of the most pleasant zen garden i've ever seen. It was so quiet
and i was alone there, while, at the same time, the Tenjin Myojin
shrine nearby was overcrowded.
Slight crop and contrast enhancement with the GIMP for the naturally
almost fluorescent moss and the rock's textures.
Un des jardins zen les plus agréables qu'il m'ait été donné de voir.
J'y étais tout seul et c'était très calme, alors que dans le même
temps le sanctuaire de Tenjin myojin à côté était noir de monde.
Coupr et légers effets avec the GIMP pour accentuer les contrastes des
couleurs de la mousse naturellement presque fluorescente et les
textures de la roche.

Une très belle photo d'un jardin zen: et la retouche est vraiment réussie
J'ai toujours rêvé de créer un tel jardin, mais mes chats l'occuperaient très vite :-(
