Photographer’s Note

Swaddee Krub everybody,

Songkrang 2008,I took this shot while I climb up the stair to upper terrace of wat Prakaew and saw the beautiful scene of Phra Si Ratana Chedi,Phra Mondop and Prasat Phrathepbidorn.This three main arhcitecture on the upper terrace look great when saw altogether that the way i think before took this frame.

For post process,Firstly I croped then use curve a little bit to composition and adjust contrast. Secondly,I used shadow/hight light to open detail on highlight area of Chedi and shadow in Phra mondop. Secondly,I use color balance and hue/saturation tool to adjust the color.Finally,I used smart sharpen, framing and resize to finish.

For information in brife: Phra Si Rattana Chedi, which it's claimed (somewhat improbably) houses ashes of the Buddha.Phra Mondop, in the middle of terrace, is a library built in Thai style by Rama I, known for its excellently crafted Ayutthaya-style mother-of-pearl doors, bookcases containing the Tripitaka (sacred Buddhist manuscripts), human- and dragon-headed nagas (snakes), and statues of Chakri kings.Prasat Phrathepbidorn(The Royal Pantheon), with full size statues of the first seven kings of the reigning Chakri dynasty (Rama I - Rama VII). Only open on April 6th, the anniversary of the founding of this dynasty.
