A bird? A plane...?, a photo from Siem Reab, West

Photographer's Note

I just returned to Myanmar after a month long trip through Cambodia and Vietnam. The ruins of Angkor Wat was my first stop. At a lake near Angkor Wat, I came across these monks swimming and relaxing.

Hi Ryno. Nice catch, excellent timing and composition. Good use of colours to draw the eye also. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

A bird? A plane?

How I hope it's not an air balloon packed with tourists! That's probably the only thing left at Angkor Wat, or has that changed too?

Don't want to be too cynical, it IS a wonderful place.

And I like the reflection shot too!

that RED cloak against the blue + the balancing head in the water make the shot :)

Jumped right into upon arriving home I see. Most of my shots are crap but that's no surprise.
This is great..nice to see it on the screen instead of the camera LCD. A bit contrasty for my tastes but the capture itself is magnificent.
Good to see you again

Hi Ryno,

I love the way the reflection interacts with this .. looking up into infinity from a reflection of it .. very nice.

take care,

John
