BONSAI -IN - OUT Photo

Photographer’s Note

Bonsai - literally "container planted" - the art of aesthetic miniaturization of trees by growing them in containers. While mostly associated with the Japanese form, "bonsai" originated in China and was originally developed from Chinese penjing.
The garden is also a conainer plant. One is OUTside te other is IN-side.
p.s.
This is a window view from my office..

Hi Rui!

First of all, thank you so much for your words about my picture!

Second, what a great view you have got from your office window! I am jealous!
You have achieved a great light, the pov is really superb, you leave us the sensation of wanting to know what´s outside!

Have a great day!

Miguel

I think we can really speak of framing here. I like the idea of the window frame with the trees behind the glass, but I am a bit dispointed by the bonsaïs, which look a bit dark here. Perhaps putting them a little nearer the window would have helped.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Oi Rui,
to vendo que vc brinca em servico, hein? Tirando foto no trabalho em vez de satisfazer o chefe. ;-)
Gostei da simplicidade desta foto. Seria uma bela oportunidade de experimentar HDR ou entao colocar diferentes "layers" sobrepostos para ter luminosidade em todos os planos.
Abracao, Peter

Ola Rui,
Excelente contraste entre plantas. Gosto da perspectiva e do enquadramento. Boas cores e luminosidade bem controlada.
Um abraço e bom fim de semana
Aires

Hi Rui,
Very interesting 'inside shot',with nice composition of colors and lightness.The 'bonsai trees'make nice difference with the plants outside.
Thanks for sharing
George
