You are very welcome, Rowena, and I am also always glad to receive answers that are as sincere and as good for further thoughts as yours. Most of the time I read cheap excuses but your reply definitely shows that your do understand this forum as a place of mind exchange.
The problem with crowed place is indeed a hard one. Of course one can't expect all people to support the photographer and... just get lost, ey? ;-) One can keep on returning at some place hoping that it will be less crowded. Sometimes it works.
In cases like this you could try to limit your DoF to the well lit parts, like for example the front facade of it, for diminishing exposure time and thus also camera shake danger. As the parts far away in the background are dark it would perhaps work to have a softer focus and less details there.
Another possible way would be to try to work with a closed tripod. It doesn't have the stability that it has when it is opened, but many times it gives you enough support for a good shot. Just mount the camera on it, and press the whole thing downward in such a way that you fix it in one position. With a bit of exercise it works well.
Cheers!
Nick

dearest marius... my place has two tall shrubs/trees that attract bees... and had been visiting inside the house in certain seasons of the year...
i heard the song "Flight of the Bumblebee" by Maksim... a remake perhaps? ... anyways, the song didn't sink in me neither..until i saw a bee oneday charging towards this flower.... and just like you, just then i understood the intensity of the bee's activity and attraction ...how fast those wings are to keep him afloat...
im glad this photo inspired u as it had inspired me..
thank you for the visit dear Marius...
hugs to a dear romanian....wena

wow ... really thank you.... i am always happy if i receive comments like these.. i am learning more and more...thank you nick!
indeed it is a case of a handheld camera shake... i tried to rescue my image which i just took hurriedly while walking..(too much crowded place..nowhere to place my tripod). the pagoda was glorious in its own but i had to disregard the inappropriate structures around it.. so i had to crop.... after that i tried some sharpening but it did not do any justice either...
anyhow, although i knew that it wouldnt look that pretty still i decided to post it hoping to receive comments so i could learn more...
and here it is... im happy...
thank you Nick.. u are wonderful... again, hugs to you!

Good for the vivid colors, Rowena! The two complementary ranges of hues stand in good contrast against each other, and the the pagoda pop out of the background blue sky. The composition is also OK. A bit "unfinished" on the bttom but the rest is OK.
Now, there are some problems here. The "echo lines" of contours like for example on the left edges of the roof are quite visible. It seems that too much sharpening has been applied here. The good contrast inside the range of yellows seems to be lowered here and there, like for example on the center of the spots on the upper side of the roofs. It looks like focus loss as it also does on the contrours of the meandering railings, but it could have been clipping too. Or a combination. It really looks as the result of perhaps a small camera shake and afterwards sharpening, but it could have been anything else too. So, why that look? Any specific intention?
Cheers!
Nick
