[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This young woman was sitting an an ancient garden in Suzhou, playing her flute. I do not speak or read Mandarin, and I found out later that the sign to the right of the picture indicates that photography is not permitted. I could have cropped it out, but felt doing so would have it destroyed the composition. Mea culpa!

Hi Mike,
As they say ignorance is bliss or you wouldn't have dared take her pic. She blends well with the serene ambience of the place. Nice shot!

Nice composition this. Interesting subject beautifully framed.

I think you are right to leave the sign in - you could always photoshop the words - "I play requests" perhaps :-)

Regards.

Ted

Hi Mike,
A nice tranquil image, especially with all the green around. You can almost here the music. Well composed.
Regards
Wanda
