Taman Sari Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Swaddee Krub everybody,

For the 3rd day in Yogya,This morning I found the bright shining day and I had a planned to visit Taman sari for this morning.Taman Sari,the Water castle,in my opinion had a unique character for both function and atmosphere.I took this shot when first entered to bathing pool section that so impressed me about the pleasure and freshness of this area.

For post process,Firstly I duplicate 2 layer to split sky layer from BG layer,Then use gradient effect on sky layer/reduce to 15% transparent and use shadow/hight light on BG layer to reduce light and open detail in shade. Secondly,I cropped a little bit to composition then use curve to adjust contrast.Thirdly,I use color balance and hue/saturation tool to adjust the color for BG.Finally,I used smart sharpen, framing and resize to finish.

For further information : The WIKI for all season on Yogyakarta and the useful information of Taman Sari

Hi patshoo

Good perspective & slight distortion from the wide angled lens. I like the muted colours. Well done & khawp khun krab!

You made good use of the round thing in the foreground, and the vertical framing gives good depth to the scene. Nice light and colors too.
Greetings

Swaddee Krub Patshoo,
You have an impressive series on Indonesian historic places. The architecture looks very exotic and beautiful and you did a very good job composing the image to show it. It's interesting and also surprising how the perspective is actually distorted (inverted convergence) and you didn't use the symmetry of the construction and yet you produced a very well balanced image. The placement of the round things on the lake invites the eye to jump around and produce a great sense of depth.
Congratulations!
Regards, José.

Hi patshoo
Nice view under an equally nice sky, it's good you have included this foreground and the vertical format adds to depth.
Have a nice day JY

Hi Patshoo,
Very postcard-like image I'd say. It's a successful composition with the inclusion of the reflection on the water and a palette of pleasant colours.
Regards,
Maria
