Artist's Comments



First of a series of 3 photos I think. These might possibly be the only 3 that I submit from Shanghai. From my digital atleast, I have a few rolls of film still to develop. Had to wake at 5:30 to go with a fellow photographer to photograph this area. Woke this early to get the light we wanted and otherwise it'd be too hot.

I think this area is called Yu Yuan or something, it's a relatively old local area that's going to be demolished in the upcoming years. I didn't really capture it the way it looks, but more the way I saw it myself.

Constructive comments appreciated. Post processing was kept minimal, I think it was just some curves for brightening and contrast.

I love the feel it has, and the tones. Seems like a still from a movie almost. Everything in the photo works well together, nice!

the textures are so interesting and the warm colours are welcoming. Does the symbol on the door mean anything?

I seriously hope you turn to photography as a profession. You are just too damn good at it. Blast you and your talent.

Anyway. Love the colors. Especially that red door. Orgasmic red door. Yum yum. The flow of the entire photo is nice, leading ones eyes to all of the important elements. I'm hoping you have a version similar to this with the bicycle's wheel fully there, but that is about all I can think of for critique...and that isn't even critique. Gah. You rock
