Standing Buddha at Beopjusa II Photo

Photographer’s Note

A front on view of the same standing Buddha statue at Beopjusa. Interestingly, this is the Buddha yet to come on judgement day. Something akin to 'Christ will come again', in Christianity. And like Christ & Mohammed, Buddha was also tempted by the Devil, but declined all offers. Perhaps a supreme being has many manifestations?

Hello Chris,
The colourful chinese lanterns make splendid lead lines, whilst the green vegetation in the background sets off the golden tones of the statue to great effect. Very good sharpness.

Another nice one from this place, Chris. Good use of symmetry with the ropes converging towards the Buddha statue, and delightful dashes of color provided by the balloons. Have a good weekend.

Hi Chris,
Wonderfully bright true colors frame the impressive budda.
Love the rich contrast between the tropical forest and the vivid cloudless blue sky.

Olá Chris!
In this one, another wonderful composition and here the typically oriental statue plays the most important role in the image, together with those colorful lanterns! I'm really enjoying this series where you present local folklore in such an excellent way, that means, outstanding quality pictures!
TFS - congratulations!
My warmest regards,
Neyvan

Namaste Chris
Though the light seems to be harsh, you've brought out the details of the statue of Buddha's face well. Like the colourful paper lanterns which offer perspective & also frame the statue well. Good work!
Regards
Angshu
