Buddha Park, a photo from Vientiane, North

Photographer's Note

The Buddha Park lies close to Vientane (Capitol City of Laos) near the river mekong. The park itself has the size of 2 football fields and contains about 200 Hindu and Buddhist statues all build around 1958. The most impressive sculpture is an enormous 40 m long reclining Buddha.

I stitched this Image together from about 25 Images with Photoshops Photomerge function (so it's not perfect and there are some unsharp areas within the Image)

Hi Stephen

very nice colour you got here with this strange and beautiful park
I like the POV and the great DOF also
It seems to me like a paintwork of these sculptures in the place.

Hi Stephen,

Well composed and excellent soft color tone!
It is so interesting to see the buddhist image scattered in the earth. And, it draws out a good effect for the whole on the contrast between the ground with thin green and trees with deep green that enclose surroundings as well as the sky with clouds, I think.

Regards,

Hello Stephen,

I like the result. I like the desaturated look and the format. The high pov makes the scene seem like a miniature. Until you spot the people, that is.

This is a job done in good taste, if you ask me.
Thanks for sharing the result.
