A D.C. cherry blossom festival staple vs. A Japan Sakura Original 🌸. Which one wins? 🇯🇵 🇺🇸
top 100%
Sorry i cant choose which one wins unless you turn them both into anime girls
Tokyo tower matches the colour theme better. Plus the clouds a level of detail to the photo.
tokyo tower just looks so much more vibrnat
Obviously the Washington monument! USA USA USA 🇺🇸 🎆
The top is so good.
I want to say why I believe it is tho. It has a consistent line (branch across bottom) to balance the "weight" of the photo, and the clouds add a lot of depth. This isnt required though if, for example, you wanted to convey a feeling of negative space on one side of the photo with bare blue sky. I feel like it would've came out better with the Washington monument having slightly more room above it, or pulling it closer to the 2/3s line in the left, but not all the way, I feel like those things would "balance" the photo. The monument might also benifit from a longer focal length to thin it out visually.
Just constructive feedback, they're both great, keep it up.
ooh, i took the same photo in dc lol
as a washingtonian i rlly cant say much
The blossoms in Tokyo are so bright! I had no clue.
both are so pretty!
Tokyo tower for sure
It’s not a stupid colorless concrete tower
They both look good to me
the tokyo tower one looks have more life in it.
The cloudless blue sky in the bottom picture makes both the monument and the cherry blossoms look kinda desaturated
Hate anything american
The way you took the second picture almost felt like its weird. Theres hardly any depth into the monument 'cause of the single-toned and cloudless sky, and capturing it in such a confusing angle made the the picture looks 2D with some blossom just Photoshop slapped on top
Not a photographer btw, im just saying as a digital artist
Tokyo Tower in a heartbeat. Let’s be honest as an American I wouldn’t pick anything American at this point out of sheer disgust.
A shot without any of those buildings ^^
