Hi Caleb!
This good shot remains me to my photo from the mainentrance of Shwezigon Pagoda in Nyaung Uu.
But here the light is perfect and the colors fantastic,especially the light blue.Great depth and perspective and the man at a good position,out of the center.
Regards,Leo

hi caleb,
very pleasing photo - with interesting subject for sure, you managed to pack so many other things like perspective, loneliness, repetitions, and finally amazing colours...the whole package makes a great work,

Curious colors of the pillars and the walls aside you got here in the Meenakshi ?, but they enhance the perspective in a pleasant way, good light contrast managing not that evident in the rather dark galleries.

Reminds me of the many shots that are here from the temple in Bagan. Great depth and perspective here Caleb, and the light is awesome. The man is positioned just right. I love the blue and flying Hanuman at the end. Have a great weekend.

Quite a departure from your regular portrait work and a terrific one. Love the colors, esp. the blue toned columns. The man perfectly placed and the blue on him provides excellent contrast. Very well done.

Very lucky that he's wearing blue!
It would have been an interesting perspective photo without the man, but he gives scale and humanity.
Maybe would have been tempted to wait a few seconds until he was a bit closer, but that's nitpicking!
Cheers

eh eh Caleb, hello :)
Same kind of pictures we are posting ;) OK yours is in color mine is in BW. I'm a lover of perspectives in photography and have to admit yours is first class. Perhaps a little bit too much too lightly but it's good anyway
Have a good week end

Hi Caleb. Nice shot here, I think you did reall well in using the repeating pillars on both the left and the frame; they have left the guy looking really small and it is a very effective composition. I am not sure if it is a little overexposed, or perhaps it is just that the light is pretty hard, but I do find it a little hot looking in general. Nice shot.

Hi,
perspective of this shot is too good..and those arcs creat a great depth here...lead the eyes towards hanumangi...well done...SUBIR

Caleb,
A nice perspective here...
The priest adding a colourful harmony to this scene...
A little bit grainy though.

Hi Caleb, a very nice image of the old indian Architecture. Amazing colours. The single man on his way is an interesting and beautiful detail. Nino

prantik (1136) 2007-03-18 14:51

Visually stunning Caleb. Great composition, colours, and perspective. However, the red towel and the blue lungi are little over-saturated in my opinion. Selective desaturation may tone them down to the level of the rest fo the frame I think, no?

Regards
Prantik
