Awesome photo. Did you use a wide angle? #356924Cliff Berinsky December 09, 2005
No, this was shot at 60mm, with Nikon 18-70 lens. Thanks for the very kind comment, Lorri. #2170206Susan L. Vasquez December 09, 2005

Very striking, Cliff! Love the colors and perspective. Well done! :-) #2170495Cliff Berinsky December 12, 2005
The colors were enhanced, but, in a somewhat indirect fashion. I treated the sky seperately by giving it a strong increase in contrast with a levels adjustment. This brought out the colors in the sky. I did this in hopes of making the sky appear as fierce as the expression on the foo dog statue. #2178928William Moore January 21, 2006

Absolutely beautiful...congrats!! :-) #2358491Kevin Wo February 03, 2006
Is this a composite of two or more images? Just curious. #2374154Cliff Berinsky February 03, 2006
Kevin: The sky is not original to the image. The original shot was taken on a very overcast day, with a blank, white sky. The sky was shot 2 days later. The statue and buildings are one image. #2374260Kevin Wo February 03, 2006
Thanks for the reply Cliff. Great job from the Camera and the digital darkroom. I plan to visit China this coming May. Hopefully I too can capture images as photogenic as this one. #2374423Stefan G February 05, 2006
