The cleaner must have a great time making sure the reflection is clear and you have photographed it well to show the corridor nicely. good color and focus.

This is a beautiful and vibrant photo!
The framing could have used a little zoom out on the leftside.
Other than that, good form!
The man-made pond is super cool! Thank you for sharing Fred!

The lighting contrast is too high. Maybe you could have photoshopped the colors to make the picture itself look better. It looks good; it's just that the brightness kind of ruins the natural aspects your trying to emphasize.

No 6s left but this deserves it. I was just leaving reviewing .. it's 4 in the morning and couldn't sleep, when this caught my eye. It's super super. What an impact. And yes I thought it was water until I read your notes which add much more interest when you realise it isnt. The colours are striking as is your angle. The focus and use of light great It has excellent framing and presentation.

I have never seen anything like this. I might understand if it was glass or some other kind of reflective surface, but a corridor? It boggles my imagination. A very nice shot and a remarkable phenomenon.

Comment from AndreThreeThou


Wow this is a very nice photograph. I really like the layout of it, showing the room like that leading out to the brightness of the outdoors. Not only that, but the garden outside just looks magnificent, like something from a painting. I really like painting scenes like this, and idealized landscapes like this always inspire me to paint. I like the diversity of vegetation, and that outside balcony looks like a very nice place to relax. The floor and its shiny quality magnify this, having a water-like effect in its reflection, yet being part of the architecture is great too. Very aesthetically pleasing photograph, also leaving some room to the imagination as to where exactly it is, which makes the photo both beautiful and intriguing.

Fred,
A beautiful view looking out from your hotel in Koh Samui the highly polished floor reflecting the trees, plants & flowers in the gardens outside. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
Susan

A fascinating reflection of a beautiful garden on such a shiny corridor floor. The garden area is so lush and green with pretty pink flowers making a lovely contrast; beautiful sunlight through the leaves. A very nice perspective captured here and a great entry for the contest Fred.

A pretty good entry into the competition posted here! At first sight, thought I would not want to walk on that floor there!! The cleaning agent, if not water is probably some kind of wax? Sharpness and exposure are fine. Well done and good luck!
