ciao Andy,

nice idea to frame the pagoda into an arch.
the white tones make it holier!

ciao

You have a strong composition here, taking careful advantage of the arched entrance that both frames and reveals the striking architecture of the The Hsinbyume Paya.

Hi Andy;

muhteşem bir simetri çalışması olmuş..

ellerinize sağlık..

Andy,
Another impressive photo of another impressive structure - a few hundered metres from the previous shot, you say, yet it looks like another world, where intricate details replace formidable mass.
Regards again,
Colin

Cioo Andy.

Great framing of this building with the archway! I like the way the 2 just fit perfectly, like a jigsaw. The whites and blues work together well.

Cheers,
