Wisdom.. Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This photo was taken in Banyon part of one of the many temples that form the all inspiring Angkor Wat. The lady we met here struck us as a kind and wise soul..Her expression tells a story of a full life. She has seen many changes and today lives within the temple walls.

Hi Zarmair,
I see what you wanted to show with this picture. Indeed, her expression is very nice. I like her smiling eyes ;o)
But, technically there are many things that could be improved. For example, The balance of light and contrast. The white are oversaturated, which erase the details of her clothes and the contrary we barely see the buddha/status or wise man (what is it anyway?) in the background (which I think is a great detail that fits your comment). Secondly, I think you either could have cropped the image to focus on her or changed your angle of shooting in order to be directly in front of the window.
Hope these tips would help you for your next shooting sessions and that you don't mind the critique.

See you,
Pris.

Hi!
As Prisley said, the lady is nice but the framing and rendering need a bit of working.
You photo is "open" at the top wich is not very nice, It would have been better if the girl was completly framed by the window. Of course you cannot change the place you shoot at your will so you can just try to render thing better once the shot is done.
I have a workshop ready if you allow me to uplaod it.
Cheers!
JM
