Taejongdae Seascape Photo

Photographer’s Note

"Taejongdae is a natural park of Busan, South Korea, with magnificent cliffs facing the open sea, on the southernmost tip of the island of Yeongdo-gu. It is a representative visitor attraction of Busan, which has dense evergreen trees, and several facilities for tourists, such as an observatory, an amusement park, a light house, & a cruise ship terminal. It is said that its name is taken from King Taejong Muyeol (604 - 661 ad), the 29th king of the Silla Kingdom, who liked to practice archery at this place, after the unification of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. Taejongdae is designated as the 28th Busan monument, along with Oryukdo Island."

Hello Chris,
I like the use of the vertical format here and the inclusion of the foreground rocks, which point like fingers towards the headland and the ships on the far horizon. The light brings out the warm tones in the rocks to good effect. Good natural looking colours and excellent sharpness throughout.

Hi Chris.

Nice, nice view again. I'd preffer a wider view to enjoy the sea, but it's only an opinion.

Well done!

Beautiful paints of sea, vegetation, rocks.
Best regards.

Nice coastal view, Chris. Good depth accomplished by including the foreground rocks, and overlooking the water towards the boat traffic in the back. Vivid color range.

Hi Chris,
Magnificent turquoise sea below the lovely blue sky and the brilliantly contrast green hillside.
The jagged rocks make an interesting lead and ships on the horizon are a plus to this lovely coastal image.
Regards, Tom

hi Chris

Very nice color contrast of the rock formation cropping into the air against the sea water and the pale blue sky. You have here the elements that I like in a photo, water, stone, sky.

I wonder if the natural geography of the earth is telling us about the rotation, because the cliffs and some exposed coastlines of the world are located on the east coasts of the land. Like Barrier Reef.

tfs, bill

bonjour Chris,
j'aime bien mieux l'exposition ici, plus basse, ce qui fait bien ressortir les contrastes et les couleurs. Avec un peu plus de recul, tu aurais pu cadrer en horizontal, ce qui je crois aurait mieux convenu.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Hi Chris,

The cliffs are framing well the sea. The presence of the boats has an effect of scale. The point of view takes our eyes toward the horizon which is giving depth to the photo. The luminosity is enhancing the different tints of colors of the scenery. Have a nice day.

Namaste Chris
Like the contrast between the colour of the rocks & the deep green of the sea, merging with the blue of the horizon. Good idea of taking into the frame the green triangle of the slope on the left. well done!
