[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Au Nord, dans le temple du ciel fondé par Yongle (dynastie Ming) au XVème siècle s'élève l'autel de la prière pour les bonnes récoltes (Qi Nian Dian) ou le très célèbre Autel du Ciel. Ce temple est devenu le symbole de Beijing. Son architecture circulaire, surplombée de trois toitures aux tuiles bleues abrite les trônes. Il symbolise la relation entre le ciel et la terre, il est dominé par la couleur bleue et la forme du cercle, qui est celle de la voûte céleste dans la conception traditionnelle.

Hi Dominique, beautiful shot of this impressive chinese temple scene, well done, I really enjoyed admiring this view, good composition, position of view and exposure, well done, thanks for sharing it with us, regards, Joao Salas

Hello Dominique,
This is real good composition of the Palace!
perfect sharpness, vivid colour and details
the exposure and focus is spot on!
very well done indeed
cheers
Tony

Good capture (and, I assume, post-processing) of a mix of lighting conditions; I particularly like the way you were able to get the ceiling beam. I find the sharp acute angle of the framing a bit disconcerting, but it is an artistic expression. You did clip the temple slightly on the left, though.

Overall, a very interesting shot!

Bonjour Dominique,
Belle composition pour mettre en valeur ce magnifique temple! Je la trouve cependant un peu trop surexposée mais ça reste une affaire de goût.
Amicalement,
Pierre
