I am not familiar with that idiom. At first I thought you had photoshopped this face into the tree, what a grand mystery this photo is. Technical are good from exposure, to sharpness.

lovely shot WD ! ...did you use long exposure to get that smooth effect on the waters' surface? ...would've scored higher if there were someone/thing about to actually CROSS the bridge!

Great shot. Love the smooth milky water that contrasts well with the details on the bridge which is a lovely warm colour.

Really nice shot and the use of slow shutterspeed makes this one

Bwahhhhhhhh I know that phrase and this upload really shows the fuss. A great idiom and great image.

I'm not sure how this photo, as interesting as it is, demonstrates the idiom

Thanks for the comment.

The idea of the photo and the idiom is that the decoration on the temple tower is complicated and a confusion of colours and shapes. The temple is also a typical one from the Pallava Dynasty of southern India so fits the idiom twice. Well that was my thought process anyway. I was always told that the idiom originated as a comment on the complicated decoration on temples, but no sure that is the case.
