Cao dai temple 3, a photo from Ho Chi Minh, South East

Photographer's Note

This picture was taken outside the Cao Dai temple, the colours just made me want to take a shot of it.

Here is the same temple again that prays to 4 Gods and they have to be in order too, this includes Buddha, Christianity and two others I am not sure of.

More information is given in my earlier picture,

I hope you like it

La diagonale ici a été bien vu cela donne une belle profondeur du bâtiment dans l'image.
Les détails architecturaux sont très nets et cela reste toujours un plaisir de contempler ces arcades très spécifiques.
Bravo Daniel

Great perspective Daniel, a very beautiful architecture photo, all colours are soft, tower splendid. Good seen!

Good deep perspective, Dan, from the diagonal viewpoint and compo. Good rendition of the intricate details and artwork in the temple, adding a fine repetitive element to the shot. Nice colors and light, well done.

A very nice perspective, good angle to show this beautiful temple. The colours are also very nice, good decision to take a shot Daniel. Thanks for sharing.

The selected point of view creates a nice perspective creating a good depth in the picture. You frame perfectly the temple to create a good diagonal.

A great architectural shot, Daniel. I like the long perspective created by the arches. Excellent colours. Well framed.

Nice capture. The colors do come out nicely. And the composition and point of view give a pleasant feel. It's an eclectic place and it appears a bit on that side to match its function, also. It just seems a bit dark, though and perhaps low on contrast. I tried a workshop to adjust it a bit. I corrected for perspective but I also like the perspective, giving it a taller feel. Nicely captured. It's a real interesting place.

Good perspective - color and contrast, a hard one to take, if you look in the right side, it is like the pic. tilt to left, if you look at the top tower in the back, it tilt to the right.

I would have crop the photo more in the right.

Good perspective of this nice building. Maybe croping the sky the perspective feeling could be enhanced.
