Japan Zen garden shot of Osaka Castle

In classical Zen form, there is exactly one place to view the perfect view of the castle reflected in the water beside a pagoda. If the ducks hadn't been swimming, the water would have been a perfect mirror.

Photography Tips

You can take shots all around the castle, but after you take this one, you will delete the rest. Morning light is best. This spot always has many visitors from all over the world. Just wait, after sunset, it would be quiet.

FYI google maps has this spot listed as the japanese gardens. It's at the top castle level, not on the moat.

This has to be one, if not the best photograph I've ever seen. Congratulations!
