Hi Travis
excellent co;position with this large pavement. It give a beautifull graphisme.
well done
Bertrand

Amazing place. The cobble stones are more eye-catching.

Nicely spotted Travis. The tiles definitely attract the eye and lead us to the gate. Nice. Paul.

Hello Travis,
I like the symmetrical composition, and the awesome pattern in the paved plaza!
Good details are captured, and I appreciate the inclusion of people...
Well framed scenery!
Greetings,
Pablo -

:-) OK-

Ah ha! This is the photo that I wanted on my visit to the Memorial Hall, but couldn't due to a lack of a wide angle. This is one of your better shots from Taiwan 'Travis.' I love the empty space that takes up most of the photo and having the building in the top.

It's good that you've included some humans in the photo, but I'd like to have seen the people at different places, i.e not on the same axis line. Maybe a guy near the top and some others half way down, but that's just me thinking out loud!

Travis! Coz za rewelacyjne ujecie. Czyste i zimne, ze az ciarki po plecach przechodza. Swietny kadr: wyeksponowany bruk, nad ktorym potezna budowla, a wszystko zamkniete niebem, ktorego nie ma, choc jest. No i dwie grupki ludzi, wprowadzajace troche ciepla, zwlaszcza ta para z aparatem fotograficznym.

Hello Travis,
The patterns of these stones really grab my eye. I like the circular lines that lead us to the arches of the gate. Nice DOF, too.

Hi Travis.
Nice pattern with the pavement leading us to the monument. Good composition and POV.
Cheers.

Mr. Travis! Zgrabne ujecie, ciekawy kadr, czysta kolorystyka, wlasciwie szarosc kolorow. Calosc ladnie wykonczona niebieskimi daszkami, rytmicznie sie ukladajacymi. Dobra ostrosc bruku, czy tez raczej kostki.

Hey Travis..

Nice image.. well conceived and captured.. add some atmospherics.. (dont add.. i mean if shot with some early morning mist or the evening colors of the ske and sun)..

it would be very dynamic picture..
its very beautiful still

Regards

Beautiful, beautiful! Very well done with using this great texture as yuor FG. A really unique shot. Sothy

Wonderful symmetry and I love the effect from the floor tiles. It's like when somebody wears a crazy checked shirt and it makes you feel dizzy.
The small rattan ball used in Cambodia (and Laos, Thailand) is really cool. The game is like a cross between volleyball and football.
Take care, PHIL

Hey T. This is a well composed picture. The circle grabs a viewers attention and is accompanied by an attractive architectural design in the back. It would have been great if there was a blue sky to be seen in the back, but I guess that's not something we can choose always. Good work.

It's almost hypnotic!

Witaj,
bardzo dobra Twoja praca!!
Pozdrawiam,
Grzegorz

Hi Travis
Simple, but very effective shot. Beautiful graphic effect given by the cobble stone geometry.
Regards, Cristian

Good thing you choose for a big empty space in the front of this gate. This works very well.
