Cemetery in Thailand

Shot taken outside Kanchanaburi, some 3 hours drive west of bangkok.

I held the camera high above my head to get the tiling effect.

Comments are welcome.

I like it.

I love the way this looks from a distance! And it's even more entrancing up close. What an inspiring place to be laid to rest...

This caught my eye as a thumnail and i like the big picture too. The pattern is intruiging and the inclusion of the person gives a nice scale and also keeps it alive!

 

I would think it could be improved in compositional terms by excluding some or all the background from the top and showing more of the grave/tomb at the bottom. The top of the gold coloured object at the bottom right third i find particularly annoying because of its partial inclusion. Would it have been possible to get a different viewpoint and/or focal length? My own style would have been to get in close with a wide angle, fill the frame to a large degree with one grave/tomb and let the rest fill the frame up around the main one. Also, while a nice exposure the light is uninteresting. A lower, warmer light would probably make more of all the fine detail.

 

An interesting place for photos and one that, if possible, deserves further visits. 5/5.

I was thinking about loosing the upper part opted for more scenery rather of pattern. Cropping the lower part was tricky and I admit that I hassled with the golden acorn.

Here is the original frame; If I could look through the viewfinder Ill probably include more of the front object.

Hi Oren

 

Following from my earlier comment, I took the liberty of cropping your picture. I think the main interest in this pic' is the repeating pattern and so have attempted to exclude anything extraneous to that.

 

Hope you don't mind.

 

Cheers

I think you are right, I prefer your version...

Maybe I'll upload a version following your cropping...

I've never seen something like this before! What an awesome place, you have captured a great shot!

Interesting!!

Sensational!!!!

Sorry, to cartonish look!
