Seoul Selection selected my snap of the changing-of-the-guards ceremony in front of Gyeongbok Palace as the cover shot this month. Needless to say, I am pretty happy about that. I really liked the way that pic turned out. You can view the larger version here. I’ve tweaked it a little. The original is a little more vibrant. I tend to de-saturate my pictures - a technique I may have overused somewhat lately.
You can download the May issue here. The photo below is from the magazine’s gallery section. I took that at Changduk Palace in a secret garden.

I finally got the book when I was taking a stroll samchungdong this afternoon, I found the underground multi shop, seoul selection, I immediately went down in order to get the book your photos including in. when I opened the door, I was busy finding the book, now i finally got that book. yeah it’s totally amazing great job indeed, I’ve had an experienced that one of my photos almost selected but couldn’t go to the final, but I was so happy to be acknowledged from others. hmm well, I feel sad that the photos in the book are not good comparing with your original one but I am ok because I can see origianl ones and the rest of photos of the palace or else on this site. that’s why I am calling myself the luckest
still need your autograph on that book. wish the urls of your forum or flickr was printed on the book so that many people can see your great work. all I can do for you is to give you compliment. anything else you need from me? as a friend??
