Another great shot of the falls when they are filled with water, very dramatic and beautiful at the same time!

Cute girl, but sad to see that they still use these heavy metal rings to prolong the girls necks! Actually it's the ribcase that's being pushed down and not the neck that's being prolonged! Besides these "Longnecked" people are from Burma and are being brought into Thailand and held against their will in "special tourist villages",by greedy tour operators to be shown to and photographed by naive tourists for money!
So no wonder that she looks sad!
Photo could have been cropped to emphasize on the girls face and some more light added!
I did a workshop for you:

Excellent view!
I always wanted to get up and take that photo as well, but the never let me up in my shorts and t-shirt!:(

An excellent photo Chris!
Very nice the way you let the palm-leaves frame the picture!
Good and sharp focus on the leaves and more unsharp in the distance, makes the picture look more 3 dimensional like you actually were there! The warm glowing colours, just emphazises the tropical heat! Finally it also brings out some memories from -81, when I stayed at this island and watched the sunsets myself!
Keep up the good work!

Nice picture with the focus on the lotus!
About the statue...it is not Buddha but a "Kinara" a figure belonging to the Thai Mythology, often portrayed as half human half bird!

Amazing painting indeed!
Composition wise,I think you missed the top of the pagoda though!
Another thing... it's a little missleading to call it Siamese Empire, because it shows the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon (Rangoon) the capital of Myanmar (Burma)!
I saw that you changed the title so I give you a "good" smiley!

Wow!
What an amazing place!
Very good composition with the dramatic cliffs towering up in the background, and the people as an indicator of the size of this natural wonder!
great job! plahgat

Well....Terje!
I just want to inform you that there are no sea gypsies living in Sam Roi Yot N.P.!
Actually nowhere else on the east coast of Thailand as a matter of fact!
They are to be found on the islands of the west coast from the province of Satun up along the coast into Burma (Myanmar), among other islands: Koh Lipe, Koh Sire and Koh Surin. Funny snapshot though! Regards plahgat

Great photo!
Very sharp and amazing colours!
I did the climb to Mt Amos, but unfortunately it was a very cloudy and rainy day, so my picture didn't turn out as good as your's! Keep up the good work! regards plahgat
