White Tower
What is exotic to a person in one culture is common to someone living in a different culture. It’s interesting to reflect on the fact that no matter how foreign and unusual a scene may be someone lives there and takes it for granted and ordinary. A photograph of Tucson or Hollywood is just as wondrous to a photographer in China as a photograph of the Forbidden City would be to a photographer in North America.
This image submitted by an Asian photographer is more than a travel picture; it is an illustration of a common sight. The photo-artist has done a nice job of using the foliage in the foreground to frame the subject and give depth to his composition. The boatman in the red jacket adds human interest to the scene and acts as reference point in the middle ground. The tower itself stands out against the green foliage.
I would like to recommend to the photographer that they do a little more cropping and remove some more sky and some of the levees on the right hand side. If they have access to photo manipulating software they could alter the hues to a little richer tone.
