Same temple as yesterday, different view, with a hanging lantern reflected in the lacquer table.

Love the layout. Because the reflection in the table is blurry there doesn't appear to be anything in focus - which gives an unsettling feel. I like it though ... well done.

The reflection first looked like an owl to me. Interesting composition.

@Lorraine: You all are so clever! I never saw the "owl" but once you pointed it out, it's as clear as can be. Very funny.

A daring experiment, it's blurry and not blurry at the same time! Highly professional and gives a somewhat mystrious atmosphere, I like it!

Was the lantern an owl? That's a very unexpected reflection in a temple!
