Some shots on Beijing, China

would be great if you can let me know your thought.


1. A royal garden.


2.


3.

They are lovely.

I think in the #2 & #3 images you are too far away from the main subject and there is too much foreground.

I would like to see the #3 image in color as the B&W doesn't have much tonal range here.

In #1 I sort of feel that I would like to see more at the top and the bottom. The top and the bottom of the tree in the foreground seem chopped off although this is my favorite of these three.

Hi MB1, thanks so much for your suggestion.

I agree with MB1 about the tree in photo 1, and generally about photo 2 and 3. But for photo 1, I'm not sure about if it's a good idea to have a tree right in the middle of the photo. Right now it cuts the photo in halves

Thanks again for your comment.

Let me explain a little bit my thought when I press the shutter.

The tree in the first photo serve to create an uneasy or restless feeling for the viewer not only in the sense that it divide the picture into halves but also it somehow blocks the view of the spectator.

When I took the second and the third photos what I have in mind is the scene. If you ask me what the main subjects are I would say the scene or the atmosphere, or in the case of the third photo, distance and the width of the lake...
