How/Why I Did It: On
the way to Australia we stopped for 5 days in Singapore and one of the
highlights there was a visit to the “Gardens by the Bay” Here there are
these amazing, enormous tree sculptures that as well as being good to
look at contain solar panels and a cooling system for the nearby
biodomes. At night they put on a light show to music and this is one of
many pictures I took at the time. It was handheld at ISO2000 and had
minimal tweaks in Lightroom CC. I find this program most frustrating as
it seems to be a very poor cutdown version of Lightroom Classic and
serving only as an iCloud link to that full computer version. It
doesn’t appear to allow for any resizing or renaming of images. It
would be nice to have something better for editing photos on an iPad on
the go. |

A very striking
image - I do like the composition with the tilted towers, and the
colours are magnificent. At least at this size there don't seem to be
any problems from the realtively high ISO. The nearest 'trunk' details
look a little soft but I don't think it matters at all. Great shot. |

We were in
Singapore when these weird trees were under construction, though at the
time they looked more magic mushrooms! Lit up now they look
amazing and good to know they are functional too. P.S. I have no idea what magic mushrooms look like! |

Magic image,
very “Disneyesque”. Lovely colours with interesting forms and soft
focus. Good result as a hand held image in low light |

A good choice of viewpoint and nice
colours! The red bit in the bottom left is a bit distracting and
could maybe be cloned out. It is difficult to tell at this
resolution, but I'm not sure if the 'tree trunks' are as sharp as they
might be. |

An
interesting shot. I did wonder if it might have been better in
landscape rather than portrait. |

A fascinating and very colourful image
that looks at first glance like an under water scene. |

My sister has
shown me some pictures of these as well and they are really most
impressive. I like the angle you have taken the picture at, which
makes it a bit different. I am not too sure about the depth of
field. The bottom is out of focus at the point where my eye is
drawn in to the picture and then sharp at the top. I think it
would work better with a greater depth of field. As it was
handheld you have done well to get it as sharp as it is. |
