Hi Albert

Clean and crisp colours, sharpness great, liked how you have blurred some off your clouds.
Shadows from trees onto the grass adds a good foreground.
Good note to accompany image. Well done
Regards

It's certainly a very striking image but looks too processed and unnatural for my tastes. Vibrant colours, but maybe a little bit over the top.

Hi Albert,
A classic view of the Wat, here i like the shadows of the trees doing an excellent FG and lead in to the picture... All the gold from Ayutthaya is now adorning the pagodas of Burma... They even call Thailand 'Ayutya' in Burmese language!

hello Albertz
this is a very nice picture of this temple!I like the way it is standing out the beautiful sky,and I like the shadows on the foreground!There is a beautiful soft effect in the clouds!I wonder if you have put a little bit too much sharpness on the temple,because it doesn't seem very natural!But its golden colours is superb,and anyway,the photo is very nice!
Have a nice day.

Hi Albert,
I like these strong and bold colours with high contrast. Espcially what we see in the foreground on the grass with the shadow from the trees, i like that part a lot.
The red from the ruins is contrasting nice to the blue sky, a strong key in this picture, i like it.
Regards, Henk

Hi Albert!

Really impressive architecture photography! The palace itself is outstanding, but your photo has captured all of its beauty and more! Great framing and composition, brilliant colours, top quality definition, but in my humble opinions the most impressive part are the shadows of the trees that seem to point to the palace. Congratulations!

Hello Albert,

Your view of temple is spectacular with between green and blue while adding shadows on grasses. Great addition of visitor for helping us scale your view and detailed notes. Excellent clarity in natural colors and sharpness. Congratulations.

Albert,
a very good shot with the shadows working perfectly as an interesting foreground element and catching enough attention and balancing well the image with the temple in the background and the clouds towering as a backdrop.
A wonderful iamge that I wish I could have in my collection :-)

Hi Albert

I've taken several shots of this temple in Ayutthaya, but never uploaded any of them. Something to do, when I get back to Australia. Wonderful blue sky here, with superb sharpness. Tfs!

Salut Albert,
L'image est belle. J'ai un peu l'impression que le ciel a subi une réduction de bruit qui appauvrit un peu les détails du reste. J'ai tendance à utiliser "surface blur" pour régler ce type de nuisance dans les grandes surfaces comme un ciel.
Amicalement

Bonjour Albert,
Superbe image avec un cadrage parfait !! J'aime beaucoup les ombres du premier plan et le ciel nuageux qui rempli bien l'ensemble !!Elle manque juste un peu de détail.
Bravo !!

hello Albert,
I like a lot how the shadows in the foreground create intricate patterns, I like a lot how you have composed the photo with strong layers of colours and content, I like a lot the saturated lush colours, especially the golden green, but I cannot help the feeling that the image is oversharpened. I see some edges around the clouds, although that might be compression artefact, since the rest of the sky and clouds are very smooth, but the details in the building and people seem to disappear under the sharp edges, with the dizzying result. I realise that such an elaborate architecture is difficult to photograph from the distance, but I might try little less sharpening. still, very god work.

with best regards,
Kristine

The ruins are really great, but your photo became unic because of those shadows you captured to the foreground. Very nice!
