The Second Entrance, a photo from Bali, Nusa Tenggara

Photographer's Note

Pura Dalem at Jagaraga, Sawan, Buleleng.

Balinese Temple is always artistic and beautiful completed with carving and statues. After the main entrance, we reach at the second entrance (as showing in the above photo), passing through the second entrance we reach at the worshipping area and yard of the temple. There have many temples on Bali Island, since this temple still not yet a tourism location list by the Bali Tourism, so there is tourists less, however it is really a beautiful local temple just located by the roadside, and the villagers or believers inside the temple are very friendly too.

Hi Ally,

The point of view is allowing me to distinguish the details and colors of the architecture of the second entrance of the temple. It is well framed. The late afternoon light is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Bonjour Ally,
il fallait une photo très nette et parfaitement exposée pour rendre le maximum de détails et de finesse à cette architecture très décorative typique de la région.
Des couleurs très tendres rendent la scène reposante. C'est cadré serré mais cela ne me gêne pas.
Mes amitiés.
Daniel;

Bonjour Ally,
Tu as réalisé là une très belle photo pour mettre cette architecture en valeur. J'aime le graphisme de cette pyramide et la belle lumière qui en fait ressortir les dessins et les couleurs.
Amicalement
Jacques

Hi Ally
Its one of thousand temples in Bali and less visited, in a way its good for photo shot without much hussle thus you have more time to concentrate on the subeject. Excellent compo and straight crop with amazing intricate detail & the structure of the temple looks great, the most interesting element. Love the shadows which helps to boost the depth, and the textures are well seen. This I feel has lifted this image and makes the diff. Excellent exposure control, good colors, sharpness and contrast. Well done
Best regards

Hi Ally,
ther are so much detail in the stone carving. beautiful warm light, good details and texture and a nice direct POV of the entrance. Good management on the light which can be difficult withe shadow of the tree falling on the subject.

Hello Ally
I have been overviewing carefully this exotic temple and find out or imagine the space room for worship. The main tower is not wide. Perhaps it has stairs and around it are there any balconies? I have counted at least six balconies. The statues are so many and well preserved. A construction of so many centuries still intact. A hug. Tomi

batalay (32840) 2011-04-06 15:27

Hello Ally,
You have accentuated the symmetry of the temple by choosing a symmetric vantage point. The excellent note and the link to the other entrances.

Warm regards, Ally,

Bulent

gunbud (34052) 2011-04-16 16:48

Hi Ally,
The low warm late day light cast soothing shadows over this ancient work of art.
The intricately carved details of the old temple really stand out nicely against the pale blue sky.
Regards, Tom

Hi Ally. An Intricately ornate temple. I remember it well from my visit several years ago.I had bought a new wide angle lens for my Minolta camera and while photographing another temple it got detached from the camera body, fell and broke. I couldn't take any photos after that on my trip. Your photo is very clear and the stone carvings are nicely lit by the sun. Regards. Klaudio.
