Thanks for the critique.
I was away in Central Taiwan for a 2 day excursion and can't get enough.
Basically can't get enough of this country actually. Back to the picture,
I had only like 2 minutes before i am overwhelmed by another group of tourist
and that place is so crowed(as you can see through the right poles). Did 2
shots
of it, one at 17mm, the other at 35mm, so time was not on my side.
Part of the telephone wire would still be seen no matter how i move since i
did my 2 shots
lying down with hands supported on the ground, guess only way is to remove
it digitally.
I just like the way the shadow to form 3 patterned shape. The sun was on
my left, like the
8oclock position, that's how the shadow gets its shape. I would love more
sharpness and DOF
as you mentioned but in that situation and with people staring at you for
lying down in front of
the stairs, i think it made me nervous a little. I am just glad i was
there. Thanks once again
for your comments, appreciate them.
