[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is my second photo of the Great Wall. It was also taken in Jinshanling, a restored part of the wall around 10 kms, with around 67 towers and that is not so popular among tourists as Badaling. During my walk I passed this one that is still in ruins. The man we see is one of the locals that are usually around.

Hey Ana.

I love your picture! Your composition is really great here with the ruins of the tower on the left and also the man on the right. I also like how you have captured alot of the wall in the background as well right into the distance. Not all pictures of the wall tell us how big it is but I feel yours does that very well!

Very good job!

Blair

Hey Ana,
very nice picture! With a long part of the wall in the background, well done!
And you're right, I saw the wall at three places (also Badaling and Yellow Cliff Pass), and the part from Jinshanling to Simatai was definitely the nicest. It's crazy how the wall curves over the highest peaks in the area.

cheers, Tonny

Olá Ana. Excelente composição, bons detalhes e boa profundidade. Se o senhor anda muito por lá, já deve ter levado com algumas daquelas pedras na cabeçita :). Well done. Paulo

Ana, this is a nice and different view that is usually seen, the setting makes it look "normal" if that is possible, some work going on, a local just standing around (or watching the foreigners maybe) and the wall stretching out into the distance, very well seen.

o estado das ruínas nos mostra bem como esse monumento sofreu com o tempo e com os homens. O pov está perfeito, com a janela de um lado e o homem, vestido à Mao, olhando na outra direção enquanto a muralha serpenteia pelos montes. bela imagem, é uma viagem por si mesma.

abraços

Excellent composition!! The detail and colors are great! A really beautiful picture! TFS and have a happy day!

Oi Anabela,
muito bonito a textura da parede históricamente desgastada. Incluir a pessoa na composição também ofereceu uma boa idéia de proporção.
Abraços e um ótimo final de semana.

Olá Ana,
legal essa foto dos destroços da muralha, mas partes intactas ao longo da imagem. As cores ficaram muito boas também.
Parabéns e Abraço

Fine POV to shoot this amazing concept.
Excellent.

Wonderful shot. An interesting image, look like a historical place of the wall. I like it a lot how we could see also part in the background. Well done.
Best wishes,
Achim

Olá Ana
No outro dia ouvi uma notícia de que esta maravilha, que é visível da lua, está a ser destruida aos poucos pelo turismo descontrolado..
enfim..

Congratulations

Olá Ana,
Bela perspectiva e interessante você ter incluído aquele que parece ser um guarda local, sem que ele se incomodasse muito (pela posição dos pés, vê-se que ele hesitava para que lado ir ou olhar, mas não impediu a foto ;-) A nitidez exemplar mostra bem o tipo de construção e dá uma idéia da extensão espantosa desta muralha. Um trabalho insano!
Bom trabalho!

Hi Ana This picture are excellent! The wall that is in the first level and the point that you took they are his interests because that we see his structural materials and the view in the depth that presents the length. Good and the presence of person.

Beleza de trabalho. Composição está excelente, como também a definição dos elementos. Muito boa.

Abraço

Olà Ana
I found your pov very nice with the see through window, part of the restored wall, the local man and the view on the wall and mountains providing a great BG. Light, sharpness ans colors are just fine! I'll add this image to my 'more fav.pic.2'theme.
Um abraço
Marilyn

Olá Ana,
Não é que ache a originalidade uma qualidade assim tão importante, mas aqui tiro o chapéu, pois é daqueles locais em que me parece ser necessária um grande poder de observação, inspiração e sentido de oportunidade para se conseguir fotos que, além de originais, são tão interessantes, tanto pela compo, como pelo que mostram, sejam pessoas ou pedras, e neste caso há de tudo.
Parabéns e TFS.
Um abraço, José.

Ola Ana
Something different from the normal Wall shots we see. Like how you composed this with the ruins of the tower off-centre & the man well positioned in the frame & through them we see the wall moving right upto the horizon like a giant snake. Good work Ana! Regards
Angshu
