Back to The CaoDai, which is not only the famous temple in Vietnam but also a actractive area for tourist. Here is other the shot during the praying time, starting at 12:00 everyday.
To explain why all the shot (include other in TE) also from uper. Simply, the tourist are not allowed to be down there during the ceremony.
what people wear is AIDAO, traditinal clothes of Vietnam.

Hello Bum Bum ... i liked this one and made a workshop trying other point of view ... hope you like ... eduardo

Hi Bum Bum, I think one of the things a photographer can do is show the world from a different perspective. In this shot, you highlight how similar the people praying look, and the regular nature of such communion.
As for the image, the unusual POV gives a fascinating perspective to the people to the right and I like the 4 different types of floor pattern across the shot.
I've looked at the WS by Eduardo which is an interesting change in direction. I actually prefer your original since it is a more unusual POV and you have retained a warmer feeling with a yellow glow to the light. Nevertheless it shows that you have an image here which can work well in many different ways. For example, a closer shot of just 6 people on the left would also make for an interesting composition.
In all, a very intriguing image and and interesting place to see.

Hi
