"Haw Par Villa" in Singapore. This is just a tiny part of what you can see in this park.
The photo was scanned from a photo, resized and sharpened. No colour correction. Adjustment of midtones/shadows. The photo was taken with no zoom.
==================================================
"Haw Par Villa", formerly called "Tiger Balm Gardens", was originally constructed in 1937 by "Tiger Balm King" Aw Boon Haw as a grand residence for his younger brother, Aw Boon Par, who helped create their fortune with the anagesic balm.
In English, Haw Par Villa translates as Villa of the Tiger and Leopard.
Aw Boon Haw then created an entertainment park to teach and preserve Chinese values.
The park's colorful collection of over 1,000 statues and 150 giant tableaux centered around Chinese folklore, legends, history, and Confucian ideology.

Hi elena - I like the idea but I think the tiger is just too central in the shot and there are, perhaps, exposure problems. I think you could have cropped out the top third and the right third of the shot and made the tiger more dominant in the shot.
