Monk in Angkor, Cambodia.

Im all new too this and am wondering if I could do better.

Very beautiful picture!Nice!

Sorry, I find selective desaturation a bit boring and rather clich頨just a personal opinion - feel free to differ).

 

You composition is rather bland here - try off-centering the subject. Even more so because you did decide to use selective desaturation - this makes the central positioning even more obvious.

 

I've never been to Angkor but it certainly is on my wish list! Personally I do not see or feel Ankor in this shot, and would not have known the location if it weren't for your title. Do you have shots of the monk with a tad more context?

 

Regards,

I love the idea, but I don't really like the composition. Allthough you've got 2 photos in your portfolio, I really do look forward to seeing more.

Stupenda composizione. !!!

Hello, IMO the composition is not good:

1.) the monk is in the center

2.) the monk looks down

3.) the monk is oversaturated and the rest is completely desaturated.

Since in Angkor everything is made from stone - IMO it is enough to leafe the stone colors as they are... I have been there too and it is a nice place... regards alex

Thank you all for the critiques. Being a beginner at this, all the help i can get is greatly appreciated. Feel free to look at my other photos and tell me what you think.

This is one of those images that makes me want to travel more. I really like how the eye is focused on the monk via the colors, but it is not overwhelming, my eye still wanted to wonder around and look at the detail in the walls after first being directed to the subject. Great shot.
