Hi Bob,

Nice shot. Nice POV. Gives an effect that the Budhas are tall.

Wonder if the contrast could be adjusted.

Cheers,
Guru

It is not always easy to capture wooden statues in doors with available light, but it looks like you have done well here.

Yep, I know exactly where this is taken but remmebering the original low light, I think your midrange exposure doesn't do justice to the place.

I would have prefered a "cosier" lighting, this is where memorizing spot exposure is handy. Also lowering the exposure would have helped not to burn the -small but noticeable- area on the cheek of the left hand side buddha. Next time try something like f/4.5 and 1/10 s. or even 1/15 s.
