Very good composition Cherlyn, lovely details. Only nitpick - perhaps another type of fonts will be better. ^_^

Great composition and beautiful door and great framing dear Cherlyn :):)

It is not related to Ming Dynasty. Peranakan is a South East Asia culture. And you are correct about the embroided shoes which is back in fashion now. Traditionally, tiny coloured beads are hand sewn on the shoes to create beautiful designs. I have a pair too, left from my grandmother. I'll try to take a photograph of it.

Looking forward 2, and visualizing the outcome with your imaginative and Colorful photography .~~Regards~ Satya~

 

 

Excellent examples of renovated Peranakan terrace house. Original Framing from the trees. I find the carved door frames very unique too.

 

 

Yes , very nice piece!!! Congr.

Cherlyn , interesting explanation of the culture, I understand that the name means "mixt marriage" ? anyway , interesting door,nicely framed by vegetation. Pnina

storytelling shot.good details and composition.liked natural frame.

Interesting original photo,well done.

It is the symbiosis you created between the photograph and the frame which makes the picture. Extravagant!

photograph + frame = art

Wonderfully framed image, Cherlyn. I really love this intimate view through your splendid created 'window'. Beautiful and original! A pleasure for my eyes. Many greetings, Ada:)

Yes, Pnina, someone born from a mixed marriage of 2 persons from 2 different cultures are called Peranakan but this is only applicable in South East Asia.

Glad that you all like this picture & the frame :-)

I am glad,You bring this to us Cherlyn.very skillfull photographed,the doorway and the plants are seperate,there is room between them ,but still the composition ,both belongs together.That makes such a accurate looking Exterior.

Crisp detail and harmonious colours. I'm not usually keen on big frames as I think the image should stand by itself. In this case the frame works well though I'm not sure about the backwards title!

Excellent composition.

With your beautiful work I am always behind everyone else in congratulating you and this is no different. But hen as they say "...Better Late...". Great image and a great composition.

 

Congratulations.

Cherlyn, Beautiful presentation!

The border is not good. it takes care to the border not the photo.

like the way u frame the image with plants in foreground, very nice Cherlyn.

 

Regards

Like everyone else, I like this very much; the framing with the leaves and the details are excellent. Thank you for posting.
