Well if you have not taken much
landscape..you certainly have an eye for it
(although I have read that true landscape is
not supposed to contain man made structures)
This picture with its wall positioned so
that it gradually leads you into the frame,
stopping at the watchtower, then takes you
slowly on a meadering stroll into the dim
distance...yes you can almost feel the cold.
You certainly need one of those over priced
cups of coffee!!

Thanks for the compliments! I took this (and
the others in the series) near the beginning
of my efforts to become serious about my
photography.
I still have sooooo much to learn. I
appreciate it when people, such as ya'll,
take the time to comment!

I love the composition - the curve of the
wall is just superb. And I laso like the hint
of colour..
very good indeed

I like this one, too. I wonder what a closer
crop on the right would look like? Also
something about the pole detracts from the
mood.
You have a very nice photostream! And I
thank you for the helpful comments on mine.

so I am hoping Flickr will be full of snowy

I'd love to have this image in my living
room! I really like the composition, lighting
and colors! I feel that I could just step
into this photo and walk onto the wall! Of
course there's a sense of history but, also
there's a bit of a mysterious mood as well!

I like the other picture more, although this
is lovely too! I've been there and let me
tell everyone, it's soo cold!! I remember
walking up the steep inclines to each tower,
feeling very hot at the top and taking my
scarf and hat off, seconds later I felt so
cold I put them straight back on!! The cold
there is unbearbale and it wasn't snaowing
when I went!! Full credit to you for talking
some good photos along the way!!
As far as this photo goes I think the space
over the wall is too much, and I think a more
wide screen type framing would work better.
I've just been to your photos, very nice!
Come see mine for some more China photos?
What do you do in China?

beautiful photo
I like the depth of it
well chosen angle
and the fact it goes foggier as further we
look is adding character
well done
