[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is part of one of the beautiful Wats in Bangkok, capital of the Kingdom of Thailand. This is the only country in this part of the world which has never been colonised. It is a vibrant country which is becoming the largest producer of cars and car parts due to 17 car manufacturers having set up locally. A great place to visit.

Hi Murray,
Where is this taken?
The vertical composition is just right though the sun location is almost overhead.
thanks for sharing.

Hi Murray
nice vertical cropping for this famous site in Bangkok. The light was hard to manage with a sky overexposed but the result is still good.
Have a nice day

How come we, the Portuguese, missed that one!!!
It is an excellent picture of what appears to be an impressive temple. The golden stupa stands out gracefully The POV is very good and you managed well a quite difficult light.

Hi Murray!

This is a very impressive temple and palace complex probably the most impresive part of Bangkok! Great framing and composition, brilliant colours, especially the gold is shining! Congratulations!

Hi Murray,
Beautiful photo with good colors and great composition.
I like the sky in this photo.

Best regards,

Hi Murray,

The spires of the temple are impressive. The point of view leads our eyes towards the golden spire. The details and colors are clear and precise. The subject is well framed. There is a good contrast between the colors. Have a nice day.
