[Notas - Normas] Nota do Artista
Another view of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, framed through an arch doorway. From Wikipedia:

"The Temple of Heaven, literally the Altar of Heaven (traditional Chinese: 天壇; simplified Chinese: 天坛; pinyin: Tiāntán; Manchu: Abkai mukdehun) is a complex of Taoist buildings situated in southeastern urban Beijing, in Xuanwu District. The complex was visited by the Emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties for annual ceremonies of prayer to Heaven for good harvest. It is regarded as a Taoist temple, although Chinese Heaven worship, especially by the reigning monarch of the day, pre-dates Taoism."

Hello Chris! Wonderful lightness and colors. Good POV, very good composition. Original capture. Well done!

Hi Chris,
I like the variety of punchy colors on the foreground and the effective framing of the main tower within the arch doorwar, nice one.
Have a nice day JY

TFS, Best regards

Hi Chris,
superb use of that immense doorway as frame for the temple, the good graphical impression of the roof of the temple gets another touch by that red and yellow in front, the interesting large gate and the well done textures in front. The people are at least good for some scale.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

I like the contrast of the colors. POV using the arc to frame the tower works perfect. well done.

Hi Chris,
well seen this original perspective, great depth and pleasant coulours, good shot.

Hello Chris,
A splendid composition with excellent point of view taking full advantage of the long archway to focus the viewer's eyes on the temple. I like the blend of complementary colours. Very good clarity. Nice work.

Hi Chris. Nice use of the foreground arch to frame the structure in the background. The vivid colors of the wall painting are pleasant. A bit too much empty space in the foreground for my taste, but otherwise okay. Have a good WE.

Hi Chris,
This is very creative composed. and the colours in front and under the arches is just amazing. The exposure is flawless with high detail and very good sharpness...great shot.
Have a nice weekend, Henk

great see-through and beautiful colours.Excellent composition.

Hi Chris,

Nice POV and very good colours! TFS.

Wichard

Pleasant this color-contrasted tunnel as see-through to the Temple having also a curved roof, good framing Chris.
Henk

Creatively composed Chris. The strong colours, strong lines and the perspective under the arches gives you a winner.

Hi Chris.
Superbly framed temple and terrific exposure. The scene in the archway looks delicate and contrasts well with the solidity of the wall and the strong primary colours. The inside walls of the arch provide strong perspective. Maybe you don't need quite so much foreground.
Regards,
Andrew

Frame in frame in frame....well,nice concept and well composed shot
The details on walls are great and the people add life
All the best

Hi Chris! Marvelous idea. Beautiful picture, the colours impressive, the frame has very good and interesting prospect and the background level becomes more appreciable.

Great shot! You not only used the arch to make a natural frame around the temple, but that splash of colour really adds a lot to the image. Great piece of work!

Hi Chris,

Fascinating contrast between the large red and yellow planes and the fine ornaments above, on the door and in the tower behind.
Very successful POV.

Hi Chris,
I really like the way you framed the view of the Temple of Heaven. The colourful arch is really nice with its attractive red and yellow and a little bit of blue in the top of the photo. The light was good too. Very well done!
