Hi Miguel!
Great shot from this ancient capital of Siam.I remember this place very well and you managed a great shot.Great POV and amazing depth.I like too the bright colors.Maybe a bit too much postprocessing.....the cloud looks a bit unatural.
Anyway it`s a great shot.
Regards,Leo

Hi Miguel,
as Leo has already said, there is just a bit too much visible postprocessing in this one, but composition, POV and colours are good enough to make it a very fine photo.
Cheers,
Michal

Hi Miguel,
This is postcard perfect....great POV showing the line of statues and the yellow cloth provides some excellent contrasting colour. The clarity and lighting is spot on. This is a superb image for the photo album. Very well done.
Cheers Grant

Hi Miguel!
Excellent POV and colors are great,
TFS !

Great angle, and without any tourists to spoil the image, good timing, the orange fabric is eye catching as usual, someone should demolish that useless metal tower to the left side of the farthest padoga though.

Hi Miguel,
Wonderfully clear crisp colors with fantastic depth to this lovely garden scene. The lovely blue sky compliments the line of vibrant yellow statues. Excellent sharpness to this fine image.

Well captured & presented

Hi Miguel, good composition on this collection of sculptures, I like the perspectives in this shot, with the long row of (seemingly) descending statues.

Thanks, John

Hello Miguel,

One of the most beautiful perspective pictures, that is wonderful also through the depth along the sculptures of Buddha.
Quality and colours are very nice, you did very nice job here.
My compliments, thanks for sharing.

Best regards,
John.

Miguel,
what a great composition with the line of Buddhas all in the same position and clothing lined up in a diagonal line from the left corner to the right middle portion. The only thing that doesn't please my eye in this composition is that "metal" structure competing with the tower in the background, but that is something that you can't change. The colors and contrast are perfectly managed providing an overall stunning shot!
Peter

Hi Miguel

A classic, with well saturated colors and fine sharpness. The framing and POV combine to give a good perspective.

Hi Miguel,

I also stop on this photograph because this whole of Buddhas creates an astonishing prospect and the colors are very pleasant. The place very interesting and is filled up of a beautiful serenity. Cheer Miguel.

With all my friendships and with soon,
