[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
The strawberry-coloured Christ Church was built during the Dutch occupation, began construction in 1741 and completed in 1753. The Christ Church is recognized as the oldest functioning Protestant church in Malaysia. Yes, it is still being used today!

During the age of British occupation, the Christ Church was once converted for Anglican use.

The Christ Church is featuring amazing Dutch-flavored architectural design. Each of the huge roof beams in the nave was carved from a single tree trunk and constructed without joints. Besides, the handmade pews and windows are original, dated back 200 years. Until today, the Christ Church is solidly maintained as undamaged, and the ceiling rafters are still remaining strong as when it was first built.

Selamat Datang Ally.I remember Melaka fondly because of its architercture, its people and of course its food. The only place where I got roast potato with the fish. Lovely composition, bright crisp colours and a nice smile.I like the diagonal placement of your subjects. Excellent exposure- a difficult thing i found under the Malaysian sky. Regards. Klaudio.

hi Ally

Very good view of the church front facade and showing a bright sunny side of the tourist spot. It is difficult to get a good perspective of the church but you have done well here with inclusion of the tricycle and rider, a part of Melaka fun.

This has to be the main attraction of Melaka together with its Portugese influence on Fort Formosa. And since getting the UN's WHC heritage site status this year, it will be more popular soon.

Hello Ally,
Beautiful picture of this historical church and also a very nice scene of street life.
The man and his very colourful rickshaw (or becak ?) give more life to the picture.
Best regards, Paul

A very beautiful church, and a nice bright color. I like this pov and the man in the fg is a nice addition. Very good detail. An interesting post. TFS

Hi Ally,
Excellent post of this solid building, as you describe on your note. The composition is well done including these people, all three pictures are good, but I must confess that I prefer WS 02, with those beautiful flowers.
Thanks for sharing,
MCV

The colors of your pictures are always amazing. This time, the church looks like a giant piece of cake. But I think I prefer the bicycle taxi in the foreground.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Hi Ally,
Lovely vertical presentation of the vivid strawberry colored church.
The whole scene is captured in brilliant warm light that brings tranquil shadows, true colors and sharp details to this fine image.

Hello Ally,

A pink church will stand out in any city setting!
The architecture is original, and I notice how the bell tower is integrated in the structure...
Composition wise I like inclusion of the tricycle driver with his colourful vehicle!

Greetings,

Hello Ally,
Exhuberant colors and sharp details in perfectly chosen angle of side sunlight is the overall impression of the beautiful everyday documentary photo. The architecture is fine and the riksha man in fg are a good description of Malacca city.
Friendly regards,
Anton

Hello Ally:

I am very pleased with this picturesque scene. The frame provides a great amount of detail, with well-established colors.

The facade of the church, with a beautiful architecture, the driver of the bicycle tourist, showing his proud service, down from this job, a great composition.

Hi Ally!
Almost missed this one. It's fabulous, not only because of the chuech in background, but also because of this smiling driver in foreground. Very colourful and very well framed!

Olá Ally,

A wonderful scene presented here. A wonderful picture from the Malacca City, good colours and composition.
Well done.
Filipe
