of light and shadows, a photo from Beijing, North

Photographer's Note

Actually we were lucky to have some sunlight on the day we visited the Forbidden City in Beijing. Sunlight means shadows and I tried top use them on several occasions. Here a nearby building is seen as a shadow on a red wall.

Again an elegant one, Izzet, a nice ensemble of architectural details from the Forbidden City. The shadow silhouette on the red wall makes a striking and well-contrasting backdrop for the carved stone structures in the foreground.

Excellent wonderful composition with great light and colors, full graphic image with "natural" architecture, compliments.

Merhaba Izzet.
Elegant, as Norbert say, and clever. That's the difference.
Photography is not only shot and shot.
We when see something different and intelligent, then we are in front of a very interesting work.

Regards from Barcelona (to Barcelona).

Merhaba Izzet,
yes, Norbert is right, elegant is the right word for this one. The Forbidden city is an interesting but difficult place to shoot usually because of the weather or the crowds but you have taken what is special about the place and brought it right up front here. Elegant and inspiring...nicely done
Cheers
Mark

Izzet,
As usual your composition is very unique & interesting...
I think you have used the shadow to the maximum advantage...
Very fortunate to have sun there.
Cheers,
Prem.

This was a beutifull work with colours and shadows, the red and white worked really well here and the image brings up so much peace and serenedity...

Shadows and color. A signature photo! Nice composition and very representative of the place you were visiting. The funny thing is I opened the picture I knew it was yours before reading the name of the photographer and I knew where you took it before reading it. Yvonne

Interesting close-up and framing to have a mysterious and abstract compo about the forbidden city. There is a kind of magic here. Good inspiration.

Merhaba,
duvar rengi, çatı gölgesinin bükeyliği, ön plandaki mimari element optimal düzeyde görsellikte ve göz eğitimimize katkıda bulunmaya devam ediyor. İyi dilekler..

Super graphics as if you drew with your own hands. Congradulations.

très sympa, ce jeu entre les formes et les ombres.

Philippe (11836) 2006-11-07 16:18

Bonsoir, Izzet. Comme tu le dis dans ton commentaire, tu as très bien exploité les ombres pour créere le contraste dans ta photo. Les rampes blanches finement sculptées se détachent remarquablement bien sur l'ombre noire. L'ombre du bâtiment, quant à elle, a trouvé une excellente toile de fond sur le mur rouge. Un très joli coup d'oeil.

Cher Izzet
Le rouge de la Chine, les dents du dragon, les ombres chinoises. C'est assez symbolique et c'est d'une grande pureté esthétique.
Bravo.
Amicalement
Bertrand

Hi Izzet - I was enjoying your China beauties, this one in particular is very impressive, capturing the essence of the Forbidden City, a great idea! TFS, Daniel

Olá Izzet, this is another good example of your accurate eye for photography. Beautiful composition, with a lovely color and shadow at the background. The contrast with the foreground is very well suceeded.
Best wishes,
Ricardo
