Sunset over Bagan Photo

Photographer’s Note

I've been travelling quite a bit in 2006 : Myanmar, Bhutan, Thailand, Cambodia. A new year will start soon now, new destinations are already in my mind. My last post for 2006 will be this sunset in Bagan one of the most fabulous place I've been visiting this year.

I wish you all a happy new year!

Bonsoir Vincent,

Surely a beautiful farewell postcard, with a fabulous mood very appropriate to the subject. Technically amazing, considering that the sun appears in it and you could still can show the temples and landscape with some detail.

Happy New Year to you too.

Salut, José.

Another beautiful sunset. Bagan really seems like the place to visit. Those hills in the BG provides a wonderful backdrop.

nice shot dear although you have clicked it against light but still foreground is quite detailed and not under exposed thanks for sharing. I wish you very happy new year.

Stepan (27175) 2006-12-31 3:27

C'est pas mal de finir avec Bagan. C'est finir par des couleurs, de la lumière, de la poésie et du mystère... en espérant qu'il y en aura toujours plus en 2007.
Bon réveillon.
Stéphane

Hello Vincent,
once again, a gorgeous shot of this fantastic place. Very well captured and nicely cropped with fantastic light of an extraordinary atmosphere.
Yes, you're right about travelling! I had my last serious travel in last June and now I'm ready to leave in a couple of weeks!
Tfs and all the best wishes for the new year!

Beautiful shot of what looks to be an amazing place if your photos are anything to go by. Very good work to shoot into the sun and still retain detail in the foreground. An appropriate way to end the year. Let's see what 2007 will bring.
Happy New Year to you and your family.
Kath

josepmarin (34099) 2006-12-31 10:09

Bonjour Vincent,
une image précieuse de ce paysage magnifique, capté dans un moment de lumière exceptionnelle et avec des couleurs de tons roses qui donnent une grande beauté à tout l'ensemble. Les silhouettes des montagnes, et les temples qui se découpent dans le ciel sont éléments de grande valeur esthétique et qui augmentent la qualité de la photo.
Le coucher de soleil symbolise très graphiquement la fin de l'année.
Je te souhaite une très bonne Année. Heureux 2007!
Amicalement,
Josep

Cretense (57010) 2006-12-31 11:01

A perfect photo to say "goodbye", a perfect photo to say anything, even say nothing. Great composition, very impressive warm colours and daring, almost panoramic framing. Congratulations and I wish all the best to you and your loved ones!

ben4321 (9807) 2006-12-31 12:06

I never get tired of seeing sunset photos when they are as stunningly beautiful as this.
The composition has a wonderful balance to it, due to the way that the setting sun and larger of the stupas act as counterweights to each other.
The whole image has a pleasing harmony to it.
I hope you have a great New Year, Vincent.

Cheers,
Ben

syd1946 (17965) 2006-12-31 12:12

Bonsoir VIncent
Nous avons eu presque la même idée pour enterrer 2006. Belle image, tu as su dénicher plus de stupas que moi. Il faut dire que Bagan est plus riche que Mrauk U
TRès bonne année 2007 pleine de voyages, de rencontres et de photos je l'espère.
Amitiés
Bertrand

Hi Vincent!What a lovely photo you are sharing with us.

mrcrow (3989) 2007-02-23 4:26

this stands out well..the atmospherics are terrific and the subdued sun is within the exposures of the land objects
full of faraway feel..and clearly in a rural area
cheers
