Golden Buddhas Photo

Photographer’s Note

These are hundreds of small golden statues of Buddha all in different mudras in the Main Buddha Hall of Jakwansa Temple in Korea. The temple is relatively new (from the 1970-s) and its builders didn't care much about some of the rules of traditional Buddhist architecture. These golden statues seem to be some kind of a whim too. Each is about 20cm high.

you have captured it from a nice angle...the
repetitive nature of the image gives a sense
of depth...thanks for sharing..

I like it, makes my eyes go funny and makes me think of one of those computer generated pictures that if you stare at it for too long you'll see another 3D image inside!

Hi Nelly
You've really done well with the exposure and focus here. Well framed too. Good idea.

Fantastic. The light here was just right, all the buddhas are well exposed and sharply presented. The tightness of this compo is its best fature. Buddha upon buddha upon buddha .. makes for a dizzying effect.
