Shadows of Tai Chi, a photo from Shanghai, East

Photographer's Note

I was fascinated by the number of people who performed tai chi daily. I attended some tai chi classes but never mastered it!

This was originally a colour shot, which I converted to B&W using the saturation control. I used contrast masking and I sharpened slightly after the re-size.

I like the image you have captured with this composition. The shadows have the look of calligraphy and the fluidity of tai chi against the backdrop of ancient stone. I nice metaphor for China.

But it isn't B&W. More like B&W and red.

This is different, very beautiful, mysterious and artistic shot. I like the red tone you left in the image. Very well done.

This is an imaginitive treatment of the subject, and a neat image. I'm kind of put off by the reddish blotch in the middle - don't know what's going on with the conversion to B&W.
