It is an amazing talent to be able to make such a beautiful and original photo of a world-known architectural wonder such as the Great Wall of China.
Looking at this it gives me the feeling as if I'm standing there myself, surrounded by the fog.

Even with the fog wrapping itself around the lower parts of the Great Wall the viewer is still able to see the greatness of the Wall, how far it stretches across the land.
This could easily be a shot from a (historical) movie... picturing the beauty (and maybe even romance) of China even though it is well known that the story behind the building of Great Wall is anything but romantic...

There's one thing that leaves me to wonder with this photo... how would this scene look in it's natural colors??

An eerie scene of The Great Wall Of China which fills the viewer with a sense of uneasy apprehension as the entire area seems to being swallowed up by the fog as it flows up out of the valleys and onto the hills, trees, and the wall itself.

Like a scene in from a science fiction or fantasy film the wall appears to be slowly disappearing into the cloudy expanse. Kind of lends a sort of mystical feel to the whole thing which captures the mystique of both the untouched natural wild and the most impressive wall ever built.

The black and white look of this photograph amplifies the creepy feeling of the shot while simultaneously making the shot feel a little more like a slice of time. The old construction combined with the black and white brings out a sort of association with the past because often black and white photographs and film are thought of as a novelty of the past.

This photo has a definite vibe and calculated feel to it which leads me to believe this great shot was well thought out after it was taken and well spotted beforehand. I give vision a 5 of 5 for this one.

Originality is difficult to judge, particularly when talking about a shot of an internationally recognized landmark, but this one has achieved something which I have not quite seen before in clips of The Great Wall. I will give this one a 4 of 5 for originality.

Excellent technique on this one. The shot is perfectly angled with the wall snaking along the left side of the shot and up around to the right in the fog, the lighting was very good to allow for the conversion to black and white to keep the image clearly distinguishable rather than allow for color values to draw to close together. A 5 of 5 for technique.

This photograph inspired a clear and powerful mental reaction in me which I believe will be shared by others. I give this one a 5 of 5 for impact.
