tranquil and peace Photo

Photographer’s Note

I took this shot just outside of the main building of the 11th Century temple. I thought this was very peaceful with the water and the lilly pads on the right leading up to the 11 storey pagoda. The bamboo on the right I thought would have made a good foreground for the pic.

I hope you like it

I think you made great choices here, especially with thne bamboo in the foreground and the leaves coming down from the top to help frame the shot. Good stuff.

Nice composition with that overcast sky ...

timotey (1926) 2004-07-31 10:40

A very good composition of this so nice place. I like the bamboo that stands fast to the old castle on the left side of the frame. A beautiful scene well rendered with this soft ambient light due to the relatively bad weather. Very well done !

jhm (83786) 2004-07-31 11:08

Great capture Daniel, a beautiful and very placid place, very nice composition.
Thanks for sharing.

nwoehnl (120) 2004-07-31 11:46

Wonderful shot, Dan, one of the best compositions I've seen from you. Very good placement of the pagodas to the left and middle, and nice way to complement the frame with the bamboo emerging from the piece of land at the front right. The clouds hovering in the back give a fine atmosphere. Well done.

Nice composition Daniel of this nice place, I like the foreground with those trees on the right and the mood on this heavy and cloudy day, well seen.

Galeota (10334) 2004-07-31 11:49

Very moody atmosphere with those low and grey clouds. Great composition Daniel, mainly because of the particular architecture of the temple.

chinchini (27931) 2004-07-31 13:25

Haven of peace says one in France. This corner of meditation is inevitably calm with its water lilies. The bambous are the must in this pic! Well done Daniel.

Framing is made, likes this framing of the photograph by the trees and this resting environment, likes also the large cloud at the bottom.

doreeneden (1014) 2004-07-31 16:13

I like it very much Daniel and it looks as though you had identical weather to mine when I was there. Regards Doreen

Nice capture on a weather torn day. Good job. Great clarity.

Hola Daniel:

Very calm and pleasant landscape.
I like it.
I would only eliminate the ground, I mean to step a little bit and concentrate on the water and the elements within.

Saludos

Kikvel

cmartos (6086) 2004-07-31 20:15

Very nice composition Daniel. I like the bamboo at the right, yes, it makes a very fine foreground and adds to the resting mood of the scenery. A vary fine catch, congratulations.

Great shot of Candi Kuning & Lake Bedugal. The framing with bamboo is a very good aspect. I may post mine next week. It has daisies in the foreground.

TRès Très bel endroit Daniel, bravo on voyage grace à toi Merci.

Didi (36674) 2004-08-01 12:22

Un rayon de soleil donne un éclairage très particulier sur les nénuphars.
J'apprécie ce paysage avec le bambou en avant-plan.
A sunbeam gives a very particular lighting on the water lilies. I appreciate this landscape with the bamboo in foreground.

Jeppe (18623) 2004-08-01 16:41

The misty background gives these image a very special atmosphere and makes the temple even nicer. Very fine work - I like it very much Dan.

joseelias (367) 2004-08-02 8:13

The bamboos really help the composition by creating a notion of distance and adding some warmer tones to the photo. Very nice landscape photo of a beautiful place. Maybe a little more brightness could be fine.

RAP (1053) 2004-08-02 8:48

Gran composicion... hermoso y suave colorido al igual que sus contrastes.
DOF y encuadre impecables.
Coincido con la idea de absoluta paz que emana de la imagen.
Breve pero interesante nota.
Bien hecho!

Great colorful... beautiful and smooth colorful ... like his contrasts.
Impeccable DOF and frame.
I agree with the idea of absolute peace that emanates of the image.
Brief but interesting note.
Well done!

Xalkida (11740) 2004-08-02 19:17

Excellent shot! I like the mood very much! The clouds helps for this mood!

sn00zie (2384) 2004-08-03 8:00

wow! indeed...tranquil, calm serene... all these words are apt for the picture. beautiful place.

Eagle78 (1925) 2004-08-03 11:07

Great misterious mood Daniel! This kind of places always surprise us with the magical environment created..and the low couds really help on that too. Great capture :)

Very nice, I like the silhouette of the pagoda and the bamboo grove on the right.

pamastro (7215) 2004-08-03 13:24

Very nicely composed image. The peacefulness is all over this photo. The pagoda is perfect on the right. The water leads calmly to the pagodas and then on to the more menacing sky. But even that is given a very peaceful feel by the foreground. The rain it might bring does not seem so bad. More like a nice, warm, rain that I don't mind being caught in. Very good job.

Beautiful photograph and really intense and calm atmosphere. You got a sensation in this one. Nice colors, and good composition.

glopez (18) 2004-08-08 11:25
