Chinese Colour Pallet

Pfffiuwwww.....Smurfie made me sweat with her theme of today. Wasn't easy to find a appropriate image to post, last week I almost didn't sleep while I had to think how to deal with the problem. Well this night I had a brainwave...China! Colourful country, there must be a colourful picture in my China collection. Found this one; Chinese girls preparing for the show in the Stone Forest near Kunming.

One and a half year ago I posted two of these colourful girls in this posting. So I hope you like this one and if not tell me why and how to improve.

PP work:
Slight crop, decreased brightness of the darker areas, increased contrast of the colored areas, increased saturation (minor). Resized and add frame and text.

What a dynamic frame , dear Mr. GB. Your artistry is very apparent in this one. I love all the brilliant colours and how you have incorporated some of them into the framing. Fine detail and the vertical of the image is wonderful. Lovley for the theme.
Warm Regards
Wanda

Hi Hans

It snowed, the day I went to the stone forest. The next day, the entire region was coverd in 30-40 cm of snow! I remember seeing these hill tribe women outside the Camellia Hotel. Good entrty in the colour pallet theme. Tfs!

Hello Hans,
Fantastic human pallet and a great civilization portrait.
Best Regards, jmb

Hans,
heb zonet bij Silke " op bezoek " geweest.
Las daar iets over frames ... >:-p
Normaal bekijk ik geen frames
omdat ik denk dat indien men de foto zou afdrukken en ophangen
men het zonder hun TL-kader zouden doen (?)
Ieder zijnen " dada " natuurlijk.

" Colour Pallet "
Aan verscheidenheid ontbreekt het zeker niet !
Mooie compositie, POV, DOF, enz ...
alleen heb je de belichting niet mee :
de zon vreet je kleuren af ( sommige ), ook al heb je de saturatie een beetje verhoogt.
Nu ja ...

Groetjes
Jan

hi Hans

haha, I can imagine you squeezing behind the stairs hunting for a pov to get this shot, and what a colorful dresses to give you what you looked for. The diagonal stairs giving you a good composition frame here.

Humorous question (if your wife is not reading or watching this) : How do you find China and its women, as alternative choice for a wife? (haha, not for anything else)

TFS, bill

Hi Hans,
What a delightful, colourful image. The overcast lighting is ideal for this portrait of these girls, even the ones under the umbrellas.
Perfect for Helen's theme, TFS.
Cheers my friend,
