Needed a bit more separate between the two guards and lose the guy in the background. Neat idea though, and good espressions on their faces.

Forbidden City Arches 2
by B74A

Comment by B74A:
Thanks :-)

It is a hallway, open to the left - I estimate there is about 300 feet to the wall at the end. See the shadows on the floor. Not visible here is that there are about 4 pillars on the left, between each arch.

From the forbidden city in Beijing, it should apparently hold 9999 "rooms", a room being defined by four corner "pillars".

If you look at //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=382278 all the way to the right in the picture, you can see a similar hallway, from the side (it is not the same, but there are several of them).

It is actually a quite tall building, and he was just standing there watching me and all the other "ants", I guess. Zoom makes it looks like it is 5th floor or so, but ty 30th floor or so. In most of Asia, China mainly I guess, bamboo is used for ... what is that called in English, what you put around buildings when you work on the exterior. Should work really well they say ...

I don't know if I could have adjusted it - I'll give it a try, but the difference between the shade and the hazy, yet sunny outside ... have just tried it with my limited capabilities and tools, can add shadows to make the colour more full, but then all the people become silhouettes in darkness. I'll send the original if someone would like to have a go at it?

Forbidden City Arches
by B74A

Comment by B74A:
One of them had actually spotted me earlier on. I was waiting for the area to clear, so I could get a clean shot (see elsewhere in this series). This is a long hallway open to one side (the left seen from this end), I am even standing half way, where the rest of the arches are in line. So it is not a paiting, each arch is about 50 feet or so behind the preceding. See //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=382275 and the comments I made there ...
