Hello Miguel,

Maybe a bit of an image quality problem, but a very nice photo with some interesting subjects nonetheless. I like how you've made the open hand at bottom the subject here, that's quite effective. Nice color and POV.

Perspective over the two statues with golden/red colors, in an a skew angel, added depth on image, Miguel.
No holy-monkeys around, but a small midgit statue on left to add a smile when see this.
Bonsoire'e.

Hello Michael.
A great POV with this perspective that we offer two beautiful Buddha figures, I like the diagonal composition of the images in the background, the trees gives a nice background graphics to image, rich in color and razor sharp.
Well done.
Good start to the week.
Best regards.
Luis.

miguel

nice angle showing the sculptures and their colors very well, the light in the background was a trouble but the main elements of the image are well shown.

hugs
