Modern Chinese landscape
« on: July 22, 2012, 07:24:49 am »

The temple sits on top of a modern Chinese mountain range.

Taken from the window of my studio here in Shanghai just a few moments ago on an amazingly clear day. Sony RX100.

Quite the contrast.  Reminds me of the story of Alladin and the palace.

Very nice shot, with clean, simple design. Well seen.

How beautiful the light on the temple is. The composition is really balanced for me... and I love the positionin gof the craqne in the background.

Visually I am a little bothered a bit by the strong black frame you have presented the image in. It just seems way too heavy and cumbersome. Perhaps make it a little more charcoal to reduce the intensity of the black. It jsut seems to take over what is in front of my eyes...and instead of looking at all the wonderful shapes of the buildings... in my peripheral vision I see screaming out to me this strong black frame.

I would love to see a series of these images over a time frame.  Perhaps setting yourself a task to photograph at the same time every day for a month... or on every Monday.... or a time that you choose - perhaps on every hour of the day over a 24 hout period...but I would make it a constant - whatever perameter you use.... just to have a baseline to observe the variances in light/structure/colour etc.
