Thank you. "Monkey King goes West" has always been popular. West here means India - to get the original Buddhist sutras - and the legendary trip took place around 100 AD. I took this pic to bring out the graduated lighting of the ceiling-sized decor.

Thank you. The morning sunlight made a diff to an otherwise dull scene. Shot at 2.8, I focused on the violins on the wall; this threw the cello at the bottom out of focus, but enough to do a job.

The M9 gives rich colours.

Beautiful. Looks like a painting from the renaissance period.

Fine details. The one with selective focus seems to stop the viewers at the door and pay attention to the chair texture. Well, just an opinion.

Nice tonal range. Very nice - the highlights without glare, giving room for the steam to shine. My 2 bits.

Thank you. The 75 mm shot at f2 gave a narrow depth-of-field - may be 6-8 inches. But seems to work quite well here.

Thanks,
Other than the usual tree to forest issues the foto was taken against morning sun.Had to fix some chroma, purple fringing and take the termite home out of dark shadow. hehe lucky angle and very good lens and very plyable file with lightroom 6.

Nice. Not easy to make the tree stand from the undergrowth and surrounding trees.

Good use of selective focus, I think.

Thank you. I think the sun streaming strongly in made the diff.

Chairs-in-waiting. The 75mm at f2 gave a nice selective focus. The chair in the middle is in focus, while the ones at the back faded away fast. I am a little surprised that those at the front-left also stayed in focus. Better this way - don't want a single chair in focus. Thank you. A bit of fun.

I like this tree - its shape, and reach. There are also many distractions. So I reduce the distractions around for the sake of the tree. I don't do this often. "twigs upon twigs" would be preferred. Thank you.
