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.

Hello Patshoo,
You chose for a original perspective of the towers, we see the tower line nice diagonal about the picture.
Also the golden colour of the tower to the left is very lovely.
Composition and presentation are very nice, TFS.
Hav a nice sunday,
John.

This is a classic Bangkok shot - youve captured the beauty of Thailand's temples really well with this photo.
Well framed.

Sawadee khap!
probably the most visited place in Thailand, by Farangs, but also by Thai people! And you know the place well! Good light here giving a nice shine to the golds.... The perspective makes us look towards the sky...
Soo-ai makmak!

Hi Patshoo,
Nice composition. I like the perspective and all these great monument tending to the sky, as if they decided to meet somewhere over our heads.
The golden tones are superb and your frame perfectly enhances them.
Regards,
Marianne
