Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent. Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread. Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

The Forbidden City
This imperial palace complex in the centre of Beijing, China. It was the residence of 24 Ming and Qing dynasty Emperors. I was the centre of political power in China for over 500 years from 1420 to 1924. The Anglo-French forces took control of the palace and occupied it until the end of the war in 1860 in the Second Opium War. The Empress Dowager Cixi fled from the Forbidden City during the Boxer Rebellion in 1900, leaving it to be occupied by forces of the treaty powers. After being the home of 24 emperors — 14 of the Ming dynasty and 10 of the Qing dynasty — the Forbidden City ceased being the political centre of China in 1912 with the abdication of Puyi, the last Emperor of China. Under an agreement with the new Republic of China government, Puyi remained in the Inner Court, while the Outer Court was given over to public use. This puppet emperor was evicted after a coup in 1924. I took this photo is 2005, and I published it in black and white.
