Cambodia – Angkor Wat & Killing Fields

[tml]

I am from Viet-Nam and the shot of the "Homeless Lady" reminds me of home. Wonderful captures. Angkor Wat still definitely remains one of the wonders of the world. Tri.

Ok gonna C&C for a minute (remember, these are simply my opinions from my eye) on just a few of the images:

#1: I really love the colors and silhouette in this image! I think it could be a tad better if you cropped a little more of the foreground out in order to move the temple down which would get the horizon out of the middle of the pic. This would also give it a sort-of pano feel. I am not one to always follow the rule of thirds, but in this image I think it would benefit. Still a beautiful pic.

#2: Kinda the same as the first image in that I would crop the foreground out just enough to get the tree limb out of the bottom left corner. It just seems a little distracting to me. This would also make a striking HDR image.

#3: Fantastic Pic. My fave of the bunch. Great composition, great saturation, and absolutely no glare in the glasses of either monk. WOW!!! Very nice image!!!

How interesting to see this just after I finished the new National Geographic article on Angkor Wat and the reason for the Demise of the Khmer Dynasty. For those that are planning to visit the article explains the whole region's architecture and what is happening with it.
