Old Time in Wuzhen, a photo from Shanghai, East

Photographer's Note

Swaddee Krub everybody,

2nd day in China for my trip to Shanghai.I entered Wuzhen water village that had treat like a tourist attraction village,Although this town still a live village but many of them move to new town near by for convenient life.Between walking with a crowd of chinese tourist.I still found a peaceful corner that expressed the good old time of wuzhen.

For post process,Firstly I croped then use shadow/highlight tool a little bit to composition and open detail on white column on the right side and adjust more contrast to the wood panel on BG. Secondly,I use color balance and hue/saturation tool to adjust the color for the wood panel on BGtoo.Finally,I used smart sharpen,framing and resize to finish.

For further information : The WIKI for all season on Wuzhen and Beautiful and artistic website of Wuzhen

Hi,Patshoo,
I like this daily look of the shot.
It's a good idea to include the bike.

Hi Patshoo,
The bike is such a part of life in China, they are everywhere. You have composed this shot beautifully, I love the textures you have captured in the wooden doors, and the way you've constructed your POV.
Excellent.
Cheers
Peter

Hii Patshoo,
This is a lovely composition with the bike and the window on the left-hand side of the composition. I also like the range of hues your image has. What I am not that keen on is the blue colour on those little plates...
Regards,
Maria

Hi Patshoo,
Just the kind of shot I like, great textures from the wooden house and I love the bicycle leaning in the corner. A nice simple yet effective shot.
