[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
South of Hué are eight splendid royal tombs of the Nguyen emperors, situated among the hills on the banks of the Perfume River. They are complexes with many buildings that include paved courtyards lined with mandarin statues, stone stelas inscribed with details of their reign, temples dedicated to the worship of the deceased and containing personal effects, and the tombs themselves.

Minh Mang's tomb for instance is not merely a mausoleum but a miniature palace set in gardens and overlooking a lake. It was built under the supervision of the emperor himself, and according to the laws of geomancy. In the Salutation Court at the entrance to Minh Mang's Tomb, stone mandarins stand sentinel for eternity, guarding an emperor who does not live anymore, with gardens falling into decay but still beautiful right behind them.

Hi Vincent.

Nice picture of the "warrior" in the middle of the garden. Excellent light too!

My compliments!

Rgs, Oscar

A beautiful juxtaposition of old & new, living & dead, foreground & background. A lovely composition to look at, Vincent!

Hello Vincent,

Une sentinelle de pierre dans ce jardin ! Je me demande si je n'aurais pas cadré ce regard figé plutôt sur la gauceh de l'image de manière à lui donner plus d'espace et de dimension !
Sinon, les couleurs sont très belles et très naturelles !
Bien vu !

A+

Bonjour Vincent
J'aime beaucoup la lumière saisie qui fait bien ressortir les détails de la statue, à mon avis bien positionnée, l'herbe bien verte et le frangipanier en fleurs avec un bon cadrage.
Amicalement

A fine detail of this place Vincent, well disposed by including the statue as well as the flowering tree.

Hello Vincent,
Well composed image with the green colour rules the place and the warrior giving the colour contrast and another sense to the composition!

Interesting detail in front of superb background.
Thanks for sharing.

Salut Vincent,
Bravo pour ce cadrage original. La luminosité est parfaite et la profondeur de champ au RDV. Même l'arbre du second plan (frangipanier ? mangolia ? ...) est bien mis en valeur.

Salut Vincent,
Une belle compo, avec la statue et le pont bien positionnés d'accord la règle des tiers et l'arbre fleuri entre eux. La lumière, la netteté et l'ajustement du dof contribuent aussi pour la faire très attractive.
Amicalement, José.

Je me souviens de Hué...
Je trouve ce pov original pour ces statues. C'est bien vu d'avoir décentré, mais d'avoir autant joué avec l'arrière plan.

Hello Vincent
Good idea of capturing the statue with the backdrop of the gardens. The light was in your favour here as it lights up the statue. Lovely use of DOF as always

Hello Vincent,

Vietnam an wonderful country, the gray colour of the statue together with the sharpness is very well, this middle of the garden, excellent composition. TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Hi Vincent!

Great "portrait" of a statue. Excellent framing and composition, great depth of field and perfect light managment and colours. Congratulations!

Hercules

hi..
to be frank ..subject is not looking interesting..beside this color..comp r good ..best wishes..subir

Hello Vincent,

This is a compelling shot of the warrior-statue — ideal composition and perspective, excellent light and shadows, and good fidelity in the colors and definition. Did you experiment at all with having the statue face inward, instead of outward, by taking the photograph from farther on the right hand side.?

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hello Vincent,
Α flat at the other shot you converted in a multi level capture with the placement in front the head of the statue,afterwards the bloomed magnolia and in the depth a part of the tomb.A great idea with superb result..I like the colours and the light.Well done.

Have a good weekend,Danos

Vincent,
Il y a un contraste que tu as bien saisi ici : le guerrier menaçant et la verdure paraîssant si calme.
Bien vu, avec des couleurs qui sentent le soleil.
Bon week,
JB.

Another fascinating place, Vincent. Love the way all this green envirorment seems to be growing naturaly, not making it an artificial place. The statue makes a wonderful contrast and the lighting and colors are great. Nevertheless I would see the statue placed at left instead of right, considering its position. Still, a wonderful shot.

Bonjour Vincent,

Une très belle luminosité sur cette composition, j'aime bien ton cadrage qui laisse la part belle au végétal tout en faisant tout de même bien ressortir le sujet principal cette statue intéressante. Un joli travail et merci pour le commentaire.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et un très bon WE,
