Hello Ann,
An interesting image that reminds me of the mausoleum of Mao Zedong where it is hard do get a photo without tourists in it. With thousands of visitors per day, one is continually prodded by the soldiers to keep moving and not allowed to stop at the crystal coffin. Wonder if similar conditions and control prevail here. Thank you and best wishes.

Hello Ann,
the symmetry created by your composition and framing is most effective and expresses perfectly the solemnity of the theme. There's exquisite depth and sharpness and the weak light and contrasting colours have been managed very skillfully. The flowers and the guards' uniforms stand out in a marvellous way. The symmetry, stillness and timelessness this image evokes are captivating. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely weekend,
Ourania

Hi Ann
a fascinating shot this. The symmetry is flawless and amazing. If you cut this image in half it would be like a spot the difference cartoon! Executed and composed superbly and a classic presentation. Well done!

Enjoy your weekend - regards Brian.

Hi Ann
Wonderful symmetry in this very professional image. I like the crop, it's so tempting to make it too tight when looking at a scene like this and include just the door with two soldiers. The flowers break the stark look of the dark facade.
Makes me think of North Korea. So many similarities in the history of those two countries and such a different present.
Best wishes
Kasia

Hello Ann,
One can see why you were compelled to take this image. A beautiful composition with near perfect symmetry. Good colours and sharp detail.

Hi Ann
so, looking at the WS photo, now I know why you composed this photo the way you have - to avoid that harsh white light! smart.
this compo suits the scene just fine.
well balanced, with lots and lots of horizontal and vertical lines to keep our senses busy :)
good job in not allowing the scene to be overexposed.
Cheers
