Premium Photo Competition 2014 Q1 : Entry Number 121
Photographers Comment
Thanks to the judges for the Award of Excellence mark. Much appreciated ! This photo is a good example of why I always carry a small back up point and shoot camera. I wanted to get a shot of the Great Wall that was different and had no people on it. In order to do this I went to the Great Wall in Badaling, China on one of the coldest days of the year at 7.a.m in the morning. I had been taking photos all morning and the batteries on my big DSLR cameras finally gave out because of the cold. All I had working was a small Canon G9 compact camera when I took this shot in the late afternoon. Although the straight photo is nice it didn't have the 'antiquated' feeling that I was looking for so I tinted the photo to give it the look you see here. I think it works well and I'm glad the judges appreciate the photo. Thanks again.......
