China - Qingdao, Beijing and the Great Wall

[Otavio]

Hi; I've been to China for a 20 days business trip. Took my Nikon P330 with me and shoot some images in the few available moments I had. It was a very nice experience on the other side of the globe. Quite different culture, food, language, etc. Hope you like the images. C&C welcomed. Regards,

#1 - Huangdao district - Qingdao. Shot Through the hotel room window.


#2 - Temple of Heaven


#3 - Bird's nest - 2008 Olympic footbal stadium


#4 - The Water Cube - 2008 Olympic aquatics center


#5 - Bikes in a Beijing subway station (yes, they love bikes!)


#6 - The Great Wall


#7 - Merchant on the Great Wall

Nice set, Otavio. All well composed. Traveling for business is better than not at all.

For me, Otavio the top right corner of #1 is too bright which is grabbing attention away from the more interesting foreground. There is plenty of spare space at the top so I wonder about a slight crop from the top and right side?

#2 is OK but could you get away with adding just a fraction more highlight brightness to give the scene a little bit more 'pop factor' ?

#3 is also OK but there is a lot of blank sky space so I wonder about cropping to a more panoramic ratio?

#4 is a difficult scene but it does work.

#5 is an even more tricky scene with a lot of distracting elements. I wonder about cropping out the closest bollard on the left then a little from the bottom to remove that old plastic bottle and the remainder of the crop from the top?

#6 had poor light but this shot works fine; and the same thing goes for the last scene.

Nice series.

Thanks, Dan, for viewing. And yes, better than not at all, for sure.

Hi, Geoff. Thanks for your feedback. I will play with the suggestions. Cheers,
