Hi Albert,
This is a lovely scene! I like the vertical shot and the nice framing you've done. I think the lighting is perhaps a little harsh, but otherwise it's an excellent image.
Nice work!
Sarah

Hello Albert,
A very good POV and composition to enhance this beautiful architecture. I love the shadows at foreground ! Colors are well saturated, maybe more that natural ones were but it works well and add a lot. Well done !

Albert,
Your composition and POV are great. I like the use of the block walkway to create a diagonal through the shot leading the eye toward the temple. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail. The WS shot are very nice as well.

Nice shot. I like the latticed shadow in the foreground and the colors, especially of the roof, are really vivid. Well done.

gunbud (28153) 2008-07-02 18:41

Hi Albert,
The brilliant golden temple roofs are wonderfully complimented by the vivid blue sky and wispy clouds.
This beautiful vertical presentation is seen in perfect lighting that brings pretty shadows to the foreground and brings out the razor sharp details of the temple.

Hello Albert,
a very clear and vivid photo that depicts the beauty of this wat.
Magnificent photographic skills as well as post production.
Great dramatic sky with very deep blue saturation.
I loves the way you put the shadow of the fence in the foreground as it is very captivating and interesting. The checked path also give a very powerful impact to the photo.
Really brilliant piece of shot. Congratulations!

Regards,
Foozi

salvator (18933) 2008-07-02 21:31

Hi Albert,
Superb contrast and wonderful bright vivid colors. The sharpness and details, the white of the temple and the blue and cloudy sky, the way you have composed the photo look wonderful.
Best regards. Salvator.

Excellent pov and good vertical inspiration. The light produces great contrast despite the light overexposure (but I think it was impossible to avoid). Beautiful.

Another good shot of this temple for your series. I like the inclusion of the triangle of grass and the bush in the foreground. The lattice pattern adds an extra element of interest. All the roofs of the temple show up well. good work

Hello Albert
I'd been to this marvellous Marble Temple (posted some pictures as well here), but you've shown us this picture from this original POV, thanks to the shadows on the grass in the FG. Light is a bit harsh on the white, but excellent contrast between the red roof & the blue sky. Good work!
