Seal of Emperor Photo

Photographer’s Note

This was taken inside the National Palace Museum where those seals of emperor are placed.

My brother was wearing his red jacket, ha, I asked him to stand still below the wordings, but he was cool like a statue. Personally I like this shot very much.

No ps.

I like this shot.
There is a great mood created from the creeping shadow in the bottom. The red in this picture really makes it strong.
Well done.

Impressive shot Shyeen, I really like it. The returning red in the characters and your brother's jacket forms an effective play in your composition. Very good work! I posted a workshop for you just to show you another example of how you could crop this picture.

Nice, moody shot. Minimalistic but quite appealing. The contrast between the red characters/your brother and the rest of the photo is great.

The picture has quite an amount of noise, but that is quite normal in a low light condition. You can download Neat Image (free software) to reduce the noise. Actually, Edwin did a great job in his workshop. Here is the address: http://www.neatimage.com/index.html
