Description
Location : Hu Lang Yu Islet, Xiamen, ChinaYou say the hill's too steep to climb
Just climb it
You say you'd like to see me try
Climbing
You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb
The hill in my own way.
Just wait a while for the right day.
Pink Floyd, Fearless, 1972.
(One of my all time favourite shots from the 15000 I must have taken on my cam.)

I am happy to see that you didn't load up your 150000 shots to your account. I am even more happy that you did decide to post this shot, because it is stunning.
The image is really crisp and clean, which says a lot about your shooting ability, and your camera.
The framing of the trees, and the depth the road provides immediately catches my eye. My favorite part would have to be the shadows and the lighting. It adds an almost surreal quality to the shot.
Wonderful!

First of all.....thanks a lot for such a beautiful reply... About the pic, I wont take to much credit except being there during the right time....the cam and nature did the rest. I agree....when I dloaded the pics on the PC, I was spellbound by the beautiful shadows, I mean they had, like u said, a very surreal feel to it!
Have a nice day!

Excellent place... loved the photo but I think that there's too much light in the shot....and maybe if you had taken the shot more on left or on the right, you'd get a little more perspective...
But nevertheless, it's great
