Twilight in Angkor

Still as glorious as ever.

I feel like I'm thrown back in time with this composition. I'm wondering if you changed the sky - there seems to be an "edge" around it. Interesting place!

Kim, the resolution is not very good with the Sony F505V 3.5 megapixel camera and I touched it up a bit. Notice the bright walls at the background which is lighted up by the sky. The foreground was quite dark and I used the shadow/highlight to lighten it up. Would have been better with a DSLR.

There seems to be an interesting effect happening in this image. Nice composition. Looking forward to visiting Angkor one day.

Just wondering - this would not be the same without that intense sky, imo. If it had been a bland sky the day you shot it, then it would make sense to put a more dramatic sky in the scene because it really enhances the overall effect.

Thanks Amar, Kim. I wish I had bought the Nikon DSLR earlier. It will have definitely made a difference to the resolution.

Well done image. Orange and orange. Was the sky done after? Interesting lighting.

What have I been missing. 7/7 on this image.

Great composition, beautiful color,really pleasing to the eye! 7/7

Very dramatic lighting in the sky that balance off the monk's dress. I am thinking whether i would prefer the monk walking the opposite direction ? Not sure about that Alec, nice setting overall !

This is WOW......too good....

Alec, I thought you will lug your DSLR everywhere wtih you, esp when you are travelling. ANyway, this image has got superb composition & colour contrast. A winner, I'll say.

I'm with Howard et al. on this one 7/7 for this image. It has a genuine sureal aura to it. I don't care what manipulation was required, the outcome is real - and is excellent to view. The contrast of orange/red on grey/black is a joy. You may feel cheated by you own image here Alec, it's a gem.

Thanks guys, you're swell, I really have to go back with a good DSLR and do this place justice. I highly recommend anyone to visit Angkor for one of the best place to shoot.
