Photographer’s Note

Yaksha statues are usually stationed facing the gates, with their backs to the temple they guard. This statue, one of a row, located at Wat Phra Kaew, is an exception as it face the shrine of the Emerald Buddha to protect the Emerald Buddha.

Amazing colours, this image would really benefit from using a polarising filter, and/or a ND grad to keep the sky and highlights from being blown out.

Great capture here. I agree with PeskyPolecat about the filers, but I think the content is excellent!

Classical picture at Wat Phra Kaew. The image does not reproduce very well all amazing colours of the statue/temple. A filter is a must here.

Nice colors, beautiful mask, seems photo needs a bit saturation!

Very good close-up, Yitzhak. While my shot is a bit too dark, yours looks a bit overexposed on my monitor. But you have good detail. Nice work. And thanks for the note. Now I know more.

Looks like I'm just a bit too late to provide the "10K" critique on one of your earlier shots - I like the framing here and the "staggered" composition of these intricate and colorful details. Very nice Yitzhak, and congrats ;-)
