A window with a view.


In the Yu Gardens in Shanghai, China.

Nice image Dan.
The window makes a great frame for the garden, and you've done a great job with the exposure in a scene with a lot of contrast.

Very nice image Dan. One suggestion would be to select the garden image and apply some USM to just that area.

I really like this shot Daniel. Chris' advice is spot on - just to tidy things up a bit. Is that a telephone box up in the top of the shot?

Nice pix nice framing As chris said a bit of USM for a tidy up and you have a winner

cheers

I thought I might have used spot or centre-weighted metering, but from the exif it looks like I had left it in matrix metering. It's great what matrix mode can do.

I did apply some USM evenly. I think the USM options I've been using are wrong. I just tried some very different values and it looks much better. Looks like some more research required...

From the scale it would have to be a great big one. No. I believe it is building outside the garden. The gardens are surrounded by shops and housing.

Thank you all.

great framing

The framing works really well... Good angle on the garden too, lots of interesting subjects right through the garden...
