[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is famous golden rock at the top of Mt. Kyaikhto (Kyaikhto pagoda). The rock balances on the edge of a cliff and looks realy amazing. I decided to upload a wider shot of the rock to make composition more interesting and show the golden rock's neighborhood.

This is one of most interesting visit places in Myanmar. Even in Lonely Planet book, at the cover you can find a picture of this rock.

Very nice composition with the curve of the wall leading the eye to the rock and the people in the distance to give a sense of the size. Lovely rich colours as well.

Good light. Good composition as well, with the path leading you to the subject. Cheers!

This is a very nice shot, you both show the interesting rock and how people are attracted to it very well. The wide angle is really great for this picture. Colors and light are really good.

Btw, I'm considering getting a wide angle prime lense, are you satisfied with the one you use here?

Very nice wide angle effect, I was a fool to not go to this place when I was in Burma. I'm afraid if I touch that rock, it will fall down.
