Pictures of the Week: Feb. 17-23

This week's photo of the bridge in Beijing is beautiful. It's one of those photos that is bigger than the sum of it parts. On one level, the photographer took a photograph of someone crossing a bridge shrouded in fog. But by framing the image so that it's full reflection appears in the water, the bridge takes on other forms. I see it as a tunnel, or a ring or even an eye. What do you see?

There are so many things I like about this photo...  I too, like the "eye" effect, the never ending shades of grey and the looming fog.

I agree the picture is great, i like the fact you can't see what the photographer is standing on so it appears as if you are walking on water, great shot very beautiful.

I appreciate that you all love this photo, but "stealing" it is a no-no. These are copyrighted images shot by professional photographers, and we purchase these photos for use on AOL. Please do not steal that photo or use it for a screen saver  ... or any other photo from anywhere on the AOL service for that matter. The photographs are licensed for our use only and it is illegal for you to use them without permission. These photos are not to be used anywhere but here on our blog or in our programming areas, like Pictures of the Week.

Photojournalism tends to be a labor of love: it can be hard work and offer little pay. I'm sure the photographer would greatly appreciate hearing all of your positive comments and praise about his photograph. Here's his website http://claro.cortes.com/indexx1.html.
