Imperial Colour Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hue is associated with purple colour, as it was an imperial colour and even this colour was associated with the Purple Forbidden City, within the Citadel compound.

Women have the conception that purple color in a hot zone as Hue becomes a cool and elegant color which looks not sad, but smiling.

When I saw this woman crossing the bridge, I knew I had to get her in the scene, to reinforce the association of this pagoda with the city of Hue and the colour of her dress.

Hi Andre,
Quality wise, this is not your best. It's either I'm jut too tire and my eyes are tire. It hard for me to see if the colorful design is in the front attached to the two pole or in the back. After looking at it more carefully, it is part of the entrance sign. Good symetry and nice POV, the girl adds to the essence of the place, or it could be anywhere in China and not Vietnam. The shadow is a bit strange in blue green colors. That's it for me tonight. Have a good weekend.
Way

Hello Andre,
This is a splendid and colorfull image where the POV is really perfect to emphatize the beauty of this bridge and the geometry of the scene.
The presence of the "purple woman" is really eye-catcher. Congratulations and TFS.
Have a great WE.
Giorgio

I think just of few of us see the beauty of the photo here, the good perspective, the few very good details, the colors and the balance in the shot, very good photo job here, have a good evening.

Hi Andre
This is a beautiful photo and having the lone woman in purple adds a feeling of regalness to this image. I do find the shadow a bit odd. How did you manage this or does my monitor need calibrating?
