The city of Guangzhou still uses its ancient wall.

Very striking composition, enhanced by the use of B&W. But the last time I was in Guangzhou it was in China :-).

Nice shot of this beautiful building - I love the intricate details and the view through the opening in the wall! Isn't this in China, not Africa?

I like this - actually very much as is - the tight composition enhances the wide stretch and the intensity of the main wall - and the high-key B&W with the blown out sky make this feel more powerful and imposing.

Cropped a little tight on top? Otherwise beautiful shot of oriental building I'll never see in person. Can I see the original color verson im sample gallery?
