A look at Devotion (Please view Larger)

A chance encounter at the new temple in Wat Chalong, Phuket.

I've been to Wat Chalong many years ago, Wow! The new temple looks a lot better than the old Shine. Very good DOF and also the composition.

Yes Spencer, there are actually 2 new additions and this one has 4 levels with the highest level housing the cremated artifacts of their late senior monks. The architecture is awesome with many ornate statues of Buddha.

 

If you observe carefully, I composed the image carefully so that all the Buddha figurines are visible to balance the image. The F2.8 ensure that there is available light to shoot without flash.

Excelente composicion, luz, color y encuadre magnifica Alec,, un cordial saludo.http://www.hectorbrandan.com/images/julio-carmona.gif

 

 

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing since many of us will never have an opportunity to view it in person.

Alec, I agree, very nicely composed and exposed. The 14mm is responsible for the more than adequate DOF even though you were at f2.8. Best, LM.

Julio, Joan, Len appreciate you guys being open and commenting on this image based on the aesthetics aspects as some are sensitive towards the religious inclination. Len, the Sigma 14mm F2.8 is simply awesome. Tack sharp and superb colors reproduction.

very good pic!!!! beautiful colour!!!!

Great control of the lighting, Alec. Beautiful tones and colors.

Alec, thanks for taking us to Phuket. Very good composition, light, DOF and tones. Beautiful ornate temple, where devotees and God will find peace and tranqulity.
