Glimpse of the past, a photo from Thua Thien-Hue, North Central Coast

Photographer's Note

Concubines' costumes behind wooden shutters in Tu Duc's tomb outside Hue give a hint of a the world of a Vietnamese Emperor. A haunting, evocative place.
Adjusted levels, sharpened and slightly cropped.

nice idea with the colours

This one is all about colour, and what colour it is! The combination of the purple and the orange/yellow is great. The open door adds a bit of story to the shot also. Well done!

Hello Brian, Colour dictates the rules in this photo and it's really outstanding! I also like the flavour of mystery and sensibility this image expresses. Very good work! Sabine

I've been looking for an image to add to my favourites list, how did I miss this one. It's really stunning, the colours, the composition and the technical quality, most of all I like the partially open door peeking in at the 'forbidden' things inside. Fantasmic. (new Doris word awarded to great works)

Hi Brian,
I finally had a chance to look through your photos and have picked this as my favorite although it wasnt easy. I love the simplicity of this image,the composition is excellent and the colours work beautifully. There is also a real sense of secrecy. Most photographers would have simply walked passed these doors and it is a great credit to you that you saw this shot and shared it with us. Very nice work.
Regards,
Paul

Wow, this is another great shot Brian. I can't believe these colors, and the combination of them! Also wonderful contrast between the texture of wood and smooth silk. It makes me want to grab my camera and go prowling again!
