Wonderful West Lake Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is one of the endless wonderful views that the West Lake in Hangzhou offers to its visitors.

The Lake, with a periphery of 15 km, is full of gardens, small bridges and beautiful hidden places.

The day I took this picture, Easter Sunday, was also full of visitors enjoying its views, but I managed to take some pictures without too many people.

Hangzhou is not so well known for foreign tourists (at least spanish) as other destinations in China, but it deserves at least 2-3 days when planning a touristic trip there.

Nice shot of this lake with the boat travelling through it and the romantic bridge attracting the eye.
Good job!

Hola Antonio,
Bonito encuadre con la barca en el lago dando un paseo que parece muy agradable. Los colores de la vegetación han quedado bien saturados, la luz es buena, y el agua tiene bellos reflejos y ondas.
El puente que se ve en el segundo plano es perfecto para rematar el conjunto.
Buen trabajo.
Un saludo,
Josep

Hi Antonio! This is what I missed in my trips to China - the country side and natural views. Veru good shot, the POV is just right, and including the boat in the photo made this livelier. Sharp and neat shot as well! rgds.

A very dense picture, with all the vegetaiton onf both side. Nevertheless, we still have a beautifull view of the small boat and the rower at the prow and also of the tiny bridge in the back ground. The bow wave on the river and reflexions are very nice, too.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Hola Antonio, bonita foto, tiene una tamosfera suave, y sencilla. Me gustan mucho los reflejos en el rio, y la composicion esta muy bien lograda. Buena definicion y agradables tonos verdes.

I discover this place, where I probably go soon, in your gallery and I thank you for that composition, through that lovely post. I suppose this is the spirit of the place and you captured it great. Well done.
