Hi Benjamin, strong compo in excellent sharpness from effective POV... I like how you choose to give such a large space to the umbrella... also excellent exposure on the umbrella and the statue, with their mix of light and shadow areas, and also catching those attractive drops scattered here and there... well done, Daniel

Hi Benjamin,
The yellow umbrella against the deep blue sky is a great contrast and makes for an eye catching image. A nice strong composition too.

Bonjour Benjamin,

Une sacree photo que celle-ci. D abord par le caractere incongru du parapluie au dessus de la statue et ensuite par l utilisation de la couleur jaune pour faire un contraste de couleur sur le ciel bien bleu et l emploi de la contre-plongee.
Une photo bien originale, en plus je trouve la statue bien sympa.

Yves.

Hello Ben,

This is the perfect angle of the Buddha; it makes him look imposing and powerful. I like the representation of the umbrella, the colour is very similar to that of a monk's robes so the connection is interesting. The three dominant colours are a great combination. I like the serene look on the statue's face, he looks very content. This is certainly something one notices when traveling around Asia, the Buddha is everywhere. I visited the Great Reclining Buddha in Bangkok, probably one of the more famous statues but I know that there are some bigger ones also. Excellent quality, it is a terrific image!
