Japanese Garden, a photo from Pahang, West

Photographer's Note

WS 01 - Japanese Garden

WS 02 - Japanese Garden

This Japanese house is different from typical Japanese house with installed glass doors. You can rent a Traditional Japanese costume and make yourself in a Japanese look, then take photos around these Japanese houses with posture feeding fishes and light up the lamp.

More detail about this Japanese Village in my previous post.

Dear Aly,
The photo reflects tranqsuility. The low POV is excellent to catch the scene, with a nice play of grey and green tones.
Regards,
Paul

Selamat datang Ally. A lovely POV leading the eye to the comfort of a shady interior and a cup of Japanese tea.Beautiful details and vibrant colours. Regards. Klaudio.

Hi Ally,
The stairs lead my eyes right up to the house, and so much green too. Like the last photo, not really a great deal of light which is a shame, but there's nothing you can do about that!
It looks to me like you've put a photoshop gradient on the sky?? Only advice I could give it to make sure you only do put the gradient on the sky, as here it's going over the trees. You can make sure you select the correct part of the photo by using the 'select colour range' range tool in photoshop, then only apply the gradient to the part selected.
Hope this helps, regards :)

Nice ascending point of view which is very suitable to the main topic here, the stairs.
The electrical light inside the house is probably the weak point here.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Ol� Ally, no red fishes at sight here, but instead we have a very nice perspective of the stones leading us to the japanese house and even best, to the 2 ladies seen inside. They are a small but very important detail that humanize the picture. Both WSs are fine complementar details.

Hello Ally,
It's a very good composition. The path and the house are completely surrounded by nice tropical vegetation. I find the combination of the green trees and the blue sky above and next the house very beautiful.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Ally,
Nice view and well managed composition and depth with this path in the foreground, a pleasant place for a walk.

Hello Ally,
another interesting view and very good composition! the stones lead the look right up to the house in which light is on and people are sitting in such an inviting manner :) Quite a relaxing, tranquil scene... interesting details! I wish I could escape from the megapolis stressed life into such a fairy-talish scene.
Concerning the sky which looks a bit too post-processed... maybe it would've been better to leave the sky white?
best regards,
Elena

hi Ally

This version of the Japanese Garden is very attractive too with the stone steps leading up to the house. Good composition.

I have seen many people shooting this resort but not from this angle. Good work.

tfs, bill

Hi Ally,
I like the POV of this one, usign the stepping stone to invite the view in and up to these beautiful Japanese Tea House perhaps. It looks so relaxing with a couple of ladies resting and chatting lesurely. Very nice details overall and the house is situated in such a natural setting with beautiful vegetation and plant. Very lovely, Thanks

Hello Ally,

The point of view creates a superb lead-in to the house!
A great composition with a fine feeling of depth, good sharpness close and far and the colours are well reproduced...
Good light makes the different elements in the frame stand out well!

Greetings,

Hi Ally! Really I admire the thought and the philosophical opinion of Japaneses of designers of home and gardens. You have attributed precisely the architecture that has a lot of interesting elements

feather (51130) 2008-11-26 6:41

I like how you have used the stones across the pond and the steps to lead us right into the picture. It must be a wonderful place to visit and great to take part.

I saw this the other day but didn't have the chance to critique. This is just lovely, a paradise really!! A very nice picture, beautiful colors and pov. TFS

pierrefonds (114536) 2008-12-02 15:02

Hi Ally,

The stairs leading us toward the house is an asset to the composition. The garden is framing well the stairs. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the architecture of the house. The picture is clear and sharp. The colors are enhanced by the good light. Have a nice day.

Pierre

Hi Ally,

This series of yours on these Japanese gardens are very beautiful and achieved. This one stands out even in the thumbnail. It's simply lovely, and one feels eager to be there enjoying all that peaceful and finely designed and cared beauty. You did a wonderful great compo, with the stream on the FG and the stair leading the eye to the house, which curiously is horizontally centred, but looks like being graciously to the right.

It's good to know that 50 years after the Japanese occupation of Malaysia there is such peaceful Japanese presence in your country.

Regards, Jos�.

Hi Ally,
it such a lovely capture of the garden. Well seen in its perspective and clarity. the stones and grasses are really exciting and pretty.
The composition and positioning of elements are captivating.

Regards,
Foozi

AnaRita (1741) 2009-05-06 5:24

Ol� Ally!
One of my dreams is to buy/live in a house like this one, with the simple and fantastic japanese architecture and the gardens... (Keep on dreaming :()
Thank you so much for sharing,
Ana

Good evening Ally,
beautiful picture, upright view of staircase leads to final point of the composition, house. Plenty of green colour, calmness and quietness and I can even feel the relaxing spirit of the photograph.
Nice work.
Cheers,
Mike
