The Ming & Qing Arches at Tangyue (larger view)

This is receiving pretty average ratings and I thought it was a pretty good

shot. Will appreciate your insights on its deficiencies.

Hi Jim

I looked at your gallery, you really get around. I haven't been further than 100 miles from home in the last 16 years. You've got a lot of good images from your travels. As for this image I think the lines and angle are good. I guess it's hard sometimes to make something really stand out even if it is interesting. Some things seem to loose their impact as an image. Things I feel might be improved here. I find the midtones somewhat flat and might but it up. I think there is maybe too much sky without to much going on. I might darken it a bit and crop some off the top to give a more panoramic feel but I would save the cloud I like it up in the corner as it helps in the composition. I did a quick edit to show what I mean. Maybe not your taste, but since you were asking, just my 2 cents.

Regards

Greg

Gregory, 

Exactly what I was looking for. All good ideas. Thanks for taking time to show how you would do it. Cheers, Jim
