Girls in Hanboks Photo

Photographer’s Note

I lived in Korea for a little over 5 years. I would often go to the palaces and museums in Seoul. Kyung Bok Gung wasn't my favorite palace but I was there one day when a group of young girls in hanboks came through with their teacher. People don't generally wear hanboks like this anymore. Hanboks are, however, worn on special occasions like weddings and holidays. I don't know the reason this particular group was there in hanboks but it was a beautiful Fall day and it was great to see them wandering about the palace grounds in the traditional Korean clothing.

Hello Brad,
Good to bring us this witness of traditional Korean clothing. Not a fashion show, but a pleasant scene of children enjoying the day.
Well done.
regards,
Paul

Brad, welcome to TE, it is an interesting site and there is much to learn from and share with us members. Your shot is a nice one, the colors are rich and saturated and the temple portico in the bg is a fine setting. Detail throughout the frame is also very nice and the exposure is great. Fine work.

Brad: great image. welcome to the TE swamp... I think perhaps you're a bit concerned over copyright infringement, but the 'watermark' here detracts from the salience of the image somewhat. best, c

Hi Brad,
Their colourful dresses are a nice contrast to the grey of the paving, also I like how the red on thier dresses sort of corresponds with the red pillars of the building.
Regards
Wanda
