This is the first picture from my small series of 'Bogor Botanical Gardens'. There so many trees with more than 100 years old in this place, maybe this tree's formations are one of those. The picture quality not too good, because i took it on a hot sunnyday, but i like to share this wonderful place to TE's friends
enjoy :-)
have a nice day

Hi Daniel.
I really adore your sincerity for this share here.
Why does the quality bother when the conditions of light were against you.. yet, you made this shot perfect in framing.
Well composed image.
Maybe another day will give you a great shot from here..
TFS.

Very good composition, Daniel. I like the bend on the road and the frame that the trees are making. There is a bit of OE though in the background. Well done, thanks !

Hello Daniel,
well captured shot in a nicely framed vertical format and of a nice perspective. As you said in your note there are some troubles with the exposure in the bg., but anyway the atmosphere seems really relaxing here.
Tfs my friend and best wishes.

A not easy image because the different lights, good attempt even if overexposed, try to have a look at this page for the DRI tecnique (http://www.tofahrn-foto.de/index.php?lg=en&pg=tipps.dri) .
Anyway the perspective and this place are interesting and beautiful, well done.
Ciao

Hello Daniel
Very harsh light creating OE in the far end. The winding road is a good lead-in. In such conditions, lock-in your aperture in the brightest parts, by half clicking your shutter, then keeping it that way, compose & shoot. You should get better results

Hello Daniel,
I like the lines in the composition!
Good details in the interesting trees, but the background is a bit overexposed...
The beast feature is the composition!

Hi Daniel. Nice photo. Nice result considering the difficult lighting conditions. The backlit leaves are a wonderful focal point. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Daniel,
GREAT framing with the tree-lined curving path. I also like the light through the leaves and the tiny people enjoying the sun.

Hi Daniel,
Nice to see these mature trees preserved and not cut for firewood :) These must be big trees indeed ... the people effectively added a scale of dimension to the scene. Good inclusion of a curved path to partially frame the group of trees. Well captured and composed. Well done! tfs
Cheers,
Renier
