[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another shot taken inside BangPain Palace. I tried to avoid the tree from the left, considering i'm taking this from a shallow bridge and limitation of my lens i think this is the best shot I could get.

This tower is well known in Thailand as Ho (Tower) Withun Thatsana built in 1881 by the King as a lookout tower for viewing the surroundings.

Hi Albert,
Very beautiful postcard.Great POV, colours and sharpness.TFS.

Very nice work. Actually a little tree here and there adds some life and perspective to the image. This one is well done with a nice setting. I lived in Thailand for about three plus years. I am sure you can create a theme on Thailand with photos like this. This photo might have a bit too much sharpness. This effect adds thickness to lines and over works the image. David Thomas

Great POV, very good sharpnes and excellent colors...composition is perfect

hello Albert

Your photos are great shots and this one is superb in sharpness, color contrast and nicely composed pov. Really nice view with calm reflection and greenery. The tower is well placed.

tfs, bill

Hi Albert, I like the composition of this one with the tower on the left. I don't mind the tree on the left, it acts almost as a natural frame. Colour is good, though the green seems maybe a tad rich, I like the reflections you're getting in the water. What is your software?

Thanks, John

Hi Albert,

A very pleasing photo, with a great range of bright colours. I like the position of the tower on one side, and the water leading into the distance on the right. The sharpness looks just right to me, although my computer has a cathode ray tube screen which produces a softer image than a flat screen.

Regards,
Vince

Hi Albert,
Beautiful colors for this nice composition.
Good job
Guy

Superb vibrant colors you have there, the picture feels alive.
The composition of the shot is nice, but the still waters practically beg for a nice mirror shot over the pond.
Perhaps a vertical (portrait) shot showing the tower & it's reflection?
Or a wider-angle lens, or better yet a picture of only the reflection...
lots of possibilities to try ;-)

Hi Albert,
Bang Pa In seems to be really worth a visit, I think i m going next week!
You got nicely saturated colors, pleasant off center compo and fine sharpness. Even more of the reflections would be nice!
Greetings
Laurent

Oh, my, Albert,
what rich, wonderful color! Beautifully composed with the tower to the left, lovely still water and reflections and I like the way the river goes on into the shot alongside the palace. This is superb work! Many thanks and kindest wishes,
Shelly
