At the Heart of Fire

Description

07-24-06, Kaiping, Guangdong Province, China. Was getting very bored with winter, and missing flowers! So, I dug out some shots I took just days leaving China that I hadn't had time to edit. I feel much better! A few minor adjustments to the colour scheme...":^)

Oh my gosh! I don't know what you had before you edited, but this is gorgeous. It's like a painting on silk--very tactile and sensuous, both in design and in color. This has to be a winner.

Where did you take this photo? it seems like taking indoor with lights,or you took outside and edit? it is amazing! #4108674

Susan Jane Allen March 29, 2007

Hi Lua, I took this in Kaiping, my last weekend in China. It's been altered in Photoshop with the hue and saturation function. The original is in my gallery, page 3 or 4 maybe. #4109047

It seems that there is a party in a palace, and people are dancing,wonderful picture.
