Angkor Wat Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

taken at dawn at the West entrance to Angkor Wat. I already took a lot of photos of sun rise and was on my way back to the hotel when I looked back towards the entrance. The silhouette of the temple was nicely framed by the main gate so I took one last shot before I left. Turned out to be my faourite on of Angkor Wat. I put the text in quite large because I wat going to use this picture as the title of the Siem Reab slide show I made after the trip.

Amazingly simple and very powerful image.I do find the title too big and a little intrusive. Thanks for a lovely picture

Hello Sitthivet,
Great job my friend!
I always love Angkor photos (I have any).
The color (shine) of woman hair give life to scene.
But I'm agree with Kevinos: title is bigger than it should be.

This is very average!
The title just does not make sense on the picture.
Sorry.

Sitthivet,
An excllent first post on TE. Angkor Wat must be one of the most photographed places on the planet. Here you have an original shot which really works. I love the silhouettes and the Dof.
Welcome to TE
Cheers

Great image here, the silhouette is very strong and the backround shadow itself is quite interesting. Would really like to see it a bit bigger and without the writing at the bottom however.

Hi,
Brilliant different idea. I love the silhouetted figures although the focus looks slightly soft to me... I can't quite decide if it would look better or worse with spot-on focus though ;)

Very nice composition i would say. Sittivet.

Though the silhoutte is not obvious to identify who is the pair, background and the frame(entrance?) make this picture outstanding!

Joli jeu d'ombres ! Très bien vu !

Sawasdee Krab/ Hi Sittivet

I really love this shot! Good moment captured.
The door frame, subjet in the middle and big stupa in the background made a good DOF. Wonderful!

Karn

"This is very average!

Wow! Calm down mate. :)

I guess you don't like this photo? haha.
I think if you don't like this photo you just left it or if you think you are an expert and you need to give some suggestion to him you should be polite and find a good word to put in the comment box.
In my opinion you should be polite and respect to other people also their works.
Just "ARTS"
Just "one photo"

Polite and Respect will save the world mate!!!

Be happy and enjoy!

Regards,

Karn
