Oh, my! You're taking my breath away with this posting! Looking again through a door...and discovering an unbelievable illusion: the bonsai seems to stand in front of a wall with a fresco on it done in ink! Is it real? Or is the whitewash just peeling?Anyway...the effect is amazing, my eyes stopped immediately on it when I opened your image!

I love the soft, simple coloring. The open door is so inviting!

Off-centered doorway, muted colors, hints of red & green, no more, no less... so beautiful!

You've got a great eye for the compo GJC, and again your control of the lighting leaves me envious. This is such a great shot. I can't help hearing voices and footsteps of the past in these halls. That little tree there really brings the image to life. Awesome work.

Beautiful and calming. Fabulous composition and light. What are we seeing through the open doors? The outdoors or a painting? I think it is the outside, but it looks like a painting. Excellent!!

This is so pretty! The scene beyond the door looks like a Chinese painting.

I’m starting to recognize your photographs . . I love these soft, natural colors and the sense of peace. Beautiful detailing here despite the simplicity.

The plant through the doorway and the red lantern really creates a sense of depth and balance, which you capture so well. Wonderful composition. Very nice soft tones.

Your photographs are so peaceful, calming, warming.... They often give the illusion that all those photographed places are abandoned but left in perfect condition... Always so "clean". Thank you for sharing your photographs - I truly enjoyed every single one!
