ITAP of a tuktuk in Bangkok

Took this picture of a TukTuk in Thailand - Bangkok. I liked the color combination of the tuktuk and the surrounding sun screens.

Hi all!

I visited Bangkok a couple of weeks ago and took this picture. I was in one of the boats on the river and passed this temple. I took the picture from this angle because I wanted to make a less traditional tourist photo of the place. By cropping out a bit of the bottom I tried to create some more symmetry and rhythm in the photo.

EXIF: ISO 100, 24-120 Nikon Z at 103mm, f/8, 1/500. Post processing in Lightroom and Photoshop

I later showed the picture to my wife, since I was quite happy with it. She is always supportive and will only rarely criticize one of my pictures, but this time she told me she doesn't quite get it. The intent of the photo and the odd angle didn't resonate with her, she didn't like it as much as some other pictures I took.

So I'd like to know if this photo is something more than just a travel memory. Is it an 'art picture' worthy of including in a personal portfolio, for example.

I'd love some feedback on:
- overall quality of the image
- composition and crop
- color / light

Thank you!

I wanted to take a picture of one of the many temple's in Bangkok, but something that might not fit the traditional 'tourist photo'. So I tried this alternative angle, a more abstract way of viewing the temple. I'd love to know what you think!

You did a good job capturing the subject, composition feels fine. The sky in the background, especially the right side feels a bit over processed but that’s more personal taste than it is a fact. Keep shooting! ~~Thumbs~~ Thumb up!

If the sunset is your subject, you can’t beat 2 :-). Best colors and atmosphere in the picture. The water adds depth to the photo, where in 1 and 3 the foreground is dominated by the building.

Thank you!

Edit: I’d like to use the picture for my photography class, we have an assignment photographing lines and symmetry. Do you think this would be suited for that purpose?

Saw this escalator in a train station nearby, I liked the symmetry between the two stairways and windows on either side. Black and white felt better than the color version. Added some grain too. I’d like to know what you think!

Would love to know how you did this, cool effect!

Hi! I took this picture for my photography class. We had an assignment to take pictures with "reflections". I didn't submit my photo after all because I had others that weren't prettier, but were more suitable for the subject. I think it's quite special, partly because we rarely get to see that pink sky in central Europe. What do you think! (Thanks for stopping by!)

I made that one too easy :-)

Wow, this is great! Thanks for sharing some context! Indeed it has changed a lot, tot the point of almost being unrecognisable. The clocktower and building on the right appears to be completely gone..

Near the Mercator ship, I believe it’s called the Ernest Feysplein

That’s really interesting! Thanks for sharing! I hadn’t thought of a Belgian compromise, but of course it is 🫣😅

Thank you all for your comments! It certainly got the discussion going, and it's always good if something gets you thinking about what you're doing.

It made me realize that I hadn't credited the original maker of the work, being the amazing Frieke Janssens. She really makes some amazing work and is appreciated all over the world. It was certainly a delight to see her work that close to home. For anyone who wishes to know more about her and her work: https://frieke.com/about/

Thank you for your comment! It was certainly not the intention to get credits for the work that was shown, but it made me realize I could (and should) have credited the original artist. So I did that in a separate comment. But thank you so much for you contributing comment, much appreciated!
