[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A beautiful Taoist temple was recently completed on a hill overlooking Sun Moon Lake in central Taiwan. These little 'bells' were hanging all over the railings and walkways; i can't seem to find out exactly what they mean! If anyone has more information, please pass it along. i suspect it has to do with blessings for people who donate to the temple. This angle makes them look like they're a bunch of oddly-propellered machines flying away...

Hi Kristy,
Wow! this is a great close up shot. I love the detail, colour and light. Your angle that you have used is good and so is your focus on the one. Well seen.
Regards
Wanda

hi kristy,
beautiful close-up, love the well preserved colors and most of all your choice of focus and the angle you've been shooting from. all combined with the red-golden color combination makes this a visually appealing composition.
thanks,
dora

Hallo Kristy!
Very interesting - and very beautiful! The one sharp bell gives a wonderful contrast to the blurred ones in the background. The colours are really great here. Very well seen!
Greetings from Germany - and have a nice weekend!

Well done!

Hello Kristy,
You have a wonderful photo here. Excellent composition and I love the way that the bells are tilted. You focused on the right bell (the one in the front) and it is razor sharp. If you aren't a pro you shot this photo like one. Superb photography!

Kristy,
Beautifully detailed photograph, with spot on depth of field - colourful, sharp and perfect.
Well done.
Regards
Colin
