Gyeongbokung Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a very old pic I took on a disposable film camera in 2001. I had to scan it and give it a little colour as it had faded so much and the quality is not the best.
Nonetheless, I wanted to share the pic of the palaces, which I found an elegant and peaceful respite from the bustle of Seoul.
First constructed in 1394 and reconstructed in 1867, it was the main and largest palace of the Five Grand Palaces built by the Joseon Dynasty.

Hi Justin

Gyeongbukgong is one of my favourite Seoul Palaces. Good pp work to salvage this print, with reasonable sharpness, & nice reflections. I'd crop a little from the bottom, or clone out the bottom right corner. Tfs!
