[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken just a few minutes before my previous picture from the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion in Georgetown, here are three trishaws. I liked their nearly symetric positionning under the arches.

Built by Chinese tycoon Cheong Fatt Tze, this house was his favorite among all the ones he belonged in the late 19th century. When he left China to arrive in Penang, he was just working in a restaurant, cleaning the dishes. After marrying the rich owner's daughter and a couple of years, he had built a financial empire over south eastern Asia, with various activities. His motto was to be able to sell whatever people would need. He was also known as the Chinese Rockfeller...

Unlike most houses which were built in this era, he decided to give it a true traditional Chinese style to make sure nobody among his heirs would want to sell it. After extensive renovation works in the early 1990's, it's now a luxury hotel which can be visited twice a day.

Totally blue!:))
Nice shot, Clement. I like the intensity of color.

I like how the rickshaws are framed by the arches and plants on either side, and I like the fact that the image is almost symmetrical but not quite.
The colours work well together, and all in all it's a very pleasing image.
Good work.

Hi Clement,
This is a nice composition, with the three rickshaws breaking the (almost) perfect symmetry of the image. Nice saturated colors. Congrats and thanks for sharing.

Bonjour Clement -

You have a bit symmetry going here with the windows, arches, and plants. The symmetry in the background kind of highlights the rickshaws and makes them stand out. Good exposure and composition. Bold colors!

Well done, thanks for sharing

You have a very sharp eye, Clement. Superb composition.

Bonjour Clément,
C'est une belle composition géométrique bien rythmée bien cadrée mise en valeur par l'éclat des couleurs.
A bientôt sur TE pour de nouvelles aventures.

Salut Clement. Nice composition with dramatic colours. it almost looks like some stage for a play, the objects seem to be judiciously placed to create a sense of balance and impact. But then life comes up with pleasnt surprises, like this lovely spot. Regards. Klaudio

Trois beaux pousse pousse bien photographiés. Plein de couleurs et d'équilibre.
J'aime beaucoup
