forbidden door in the forbidden city Photo

Photographer’s Note

the title explains everything, a forbidden door in the forbidden city, Beijing.
I've added a red filter, but only 20%, and keeping the original brightness...

I like the simplicity of this. I also like the peeling paint. If you add a little unsharp mask in PS, you can bring out the peeling paint even more if you want.

Beautiful door and sign. I think this photo is a bit underrated due in part to the contrast. I did a workshop on it. Let me know what you think. :)

hi elena,
good framing and a simple subject.I wonder what they hide at the other part of the door; your pic gave that curiosity to me.
the colors might be warmer, it would be better I think.
regards

Good composition, Elena. I like the way you framed it.
Beautiful red tones and with a nice dusty feel to it in the lower section. Well seen.
