This is a really beautiful scene. Is it Japan? Lovely colors and finishing.

Lovely looking scene.

The foliage framing the bottom seems a little too bright from flash to me, but the lillies are beautiful and it's a cool location to shoot.

Looks like a restaurant in a Hawaiian resort. Foreground flash is very prominent.

The exposure is good, I am not too fond of the brightly lighted ferns and plants in the lower foreground, I feel that they distract.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good angle and well framed.

Beautiful. I love Thailand. (It is Thailand isn't it?)
The flash on the foreground plants would be better if it was toned down a little as I find myself pretty drawn to the bright leaves. But I love the scene.

I like the framing by the leaves although the're a tad too bright in comparison with the rest of the photo. I like the glow of the lights.

Good composition. the leaves in the foreground don't really tie in with the rest of the shot due to being a lot brighter, both in tone and color, than the rest of the shot, but otherwise, I like how you have captured the lighting on the buildings without blowing it out.

Nice and sharp, shame about so many plants in the foreground on the left
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 11:50:49 PM
Very pretty. I almost think the bright lighting on the foreground greenery distracts from the shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Roof is interesting as are the lilly pads/lights? Cool.

Dusk just gives you the best of both night and day together doesn't it?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 05:51:56 PM
the brightness of the ferns in the foreground take away from the beauty of the rest of the scene. Maybe don't use flash next time? Or is this just the results of a long exposure... anyway, it's a good shot, though the intensity of the ferns takes away from it. 6

Nice view with the warm lights and the bright green on the foreground.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Looks like a beautiful place. The greenery in the front looks like you used a flash.

A very lovely place, but the leaves in the foreground are very distractingly bright and the whole image feels lacking in the sharpness deptartment.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 03:59:25 PM
Good pic. Plants lit is a bit distracting though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 01:25:32 PM
the plants in the foreground a a little too bright and do not fit into the overall mood of the image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 01:21:14 PM
wonderful colors and perspective, but the focus seems off.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 11:12:20 AM
great contrast
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 10:57:17 AM
I'm guessing those lilipads are fake.

Lovely colourful shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:12:40 AM
Lovely location, however your lighting really let you down.

A tripod and slower shutter speed would have been the ticket.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 11:42:00 PM
The exposure doesn't seem to balance between the ferns and the rest of the photo. Otherwise an interesting scene, nice composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:41:41 PM
lacks the sharp focus that this photo calls for
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:58:17 PM

A little to over saturated for me but I love the subject matter.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 03:08:31 PM
Beautiful color and reflection. Unfortunately, I think the ferns and plants in the foreground are distracting because they are so sharp and bright. Still a nice shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 05:10:28 AM
I like how the greens set off the pinks and orange.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Evokes a sense of evening, I can almost smell the food (yum).

This is a very lively photo. Lots of colors and things to see. I enjoy shots like this because it keeps me looking.
