Bronze Dragon Photo

Photographer’s Note

This life like dragon usually comes in pair clinging both side of a three legged incense burner. You can find it at any chinese temple located in front. This particular burner was imported from China during the 50's. The craftsman of the people then are really superior. Now it rare to find even one.

Hi Stanley

Welcome to TE community

Your 1st post here of a bronze dragon
.placed in center of image
.metering a bit underexposed
.BG is dark and also UE
.composition may need improvement

Overall, you focus on the dragon and may also need to consider other features while doing so, that would make this shot a more balanced view.

I attempt to do a workshop, although I think it may not work well because your original version is tightly spaced and it is shot at very close 7.5mm range.

workshop version here

Remember, central subject 'may' not work well unless a close portrait.

I would like to have your comments if any.

TFS, cheers
Bill
