Hi Murray, this photo is so attractive. It's a combination of the interesting and intricate subject-matter, the amazing tones and textures (especially of the mosaic tile in BG) the good depth and excellent management of what looks to be very strong sunlight. Nice work, TFS and have a lovely weekend, Lisa

Hi Murray,

The statue is well placed in the frame. The close-up view is showing the details and colors of the statue. It is clear and precise. The light has a special effect on the colors of the statue. Have a nice day.

Fabulous detail here Murray and you managed the reflected light very well. Just a pity that she is missing the very top of her headpiece.
cheers

Hello Murray,

Excellent portrait of the golden Budhda statue, and included in their is the vertical frame on the left, an essential compositional element.

I am very much interested in your shots of Bangkok. It appears set for our trip to Bangkok in July. We go to Delhi, Agra and Chandigarh for 4-5 days, then onto Bangkok for four, before flying back to the United Sates. My good friend from university days (a member of the Nehru Family) will host us, although he warned me that "in the monsoon season... only mad dogs and Englishmen," visit India. Since we are not the latter, we must be the former!

Warm regards, Murray.
