Behind the willows Photo

Photographer’s Note

Thap Rua ("Turtle Tower"), located at the heart of the Sword Lake, is definitely one of the most iconic symbols of Hanoi. Together with the beautiful lake itself, they compose a very familiar topic in many fine art, photography and literature works.

It's not easy to bring a something new to such a common subject. Here is my experimental attempt with the help of Photoshop.

Comments are appreciated. :D

Hello Bui!
I appreciate your experiment.
To make Thap Rua a background is good idea.
Regards!

It's interesting to make the iconic building a background and draw the attention to the willow. I like this. I hope you don't mind if I pinch the technique. What help did Photoshop give. (I'm new at all this)
