[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The peaceful Ong Bon pagoda, in the chinese quarter of Cholon, Ho Chi Minh city. Out of time for just a moment. Outside: the hectic trafic of the city, the markets, the vendors, the crowd, the heath. Inside: serenity, peace and faith in the shadow of Ong Bon, the guardian of happiness and virtue.

Nice color contrast but I wish I could have assigned you some point but I'm afraid I have none left today :)

Hi Emmanuel,
I also like the beautiful color contrasts taken in difficult light conditions. The man sweeoing the floor adds interest.

Hi Emmanuel,
good composition with the rectangle areas and the single round one with the person in the center. I like the colours, too..
Cheers Chris

I like the POV and the idea, the sharpness is alwalys god, i just wonder why you didnt crop the right side to the green pillar - the extra doesnt really serve a purpose, does it?

bonjour emmanuel

Hi Emmanuel,
For me the wall on this floor of the Pagoda adds to the spatial aspect of this spiritual place, round and round and round again.. as if time stood still. Lovely light, well balanced too.
