preah khan, a photo from Siem Reab, West

Photographer's Note

Dans les ruines de Preah Khan (Angkor), cette vieille femme semblait intemporelle, comme une statue vivante. J'ai pos� mon Canon Pro 1 sur un pied pour capter les basses lumi鋨es.

Nice shot. Good expressions. Though the composition could have been better. The pillar on the left could have been included more.

Salut Bertrand,

J'aime beaucoup ta photo, il y a une jolie luminosite et le cadrage est originale. Le lieu semble tres paisible, il aurait ete cool d'inclure une petite note d'information.

Bienvenue sur TE
A bientot
Luan

1. A note would be usefull ...
- I believe this is Preah Khan and not Banteay Kdey - both temples built by King Jaya the 7th ... as was Ta Prohm - all excellent for catching jungle moods and very good at all times of the day ... when the good light of the morning has left these are the temples to head too ... covered in jungle
you can get excellent photos when other more exposed temples would be "burned" by the harsh light conditions of day time ...

- All the holes you see in the walls: that's were the gold plating was secured...the entire holy of holys was covered with gold tiles...
2. Focus - The immage should be sharpened a bit.

The composition it self is excellent ! As is the light ...

Ashit - that pillar is actually the Stupa situated at the "heart" of this temple ...

The contrast of the hard cold stone to the person in a pose of powerlessness is really interesting here, Bertrand! Nice framing, too.

Super Bertrand,
Tu r徼ssis l� ou j'ai fait une superbe floue compl鋈ement rat嶪 faute de tr廧ied.
Bravo.

A lovely image, Bertrand, and quite neglected on the points, LOL! I like the distant view of the monk(?) and the inclusion of the metal object in the foreground.

TFS,
Alli

Hi Bertrand,
I came looking for your old Cambodian images and this where I found this old lady. Yes you are right, its the same lady and in the same place. She is just a year and half older now:)

A lovely and discrete study of a good subject.
The old guy makes a great focus point. Only mius is the slight lack of sharpness which I guess is due to poor lighting conditions?
Tres belle!

Salut Bertrand,
C'est amusant de retourner te voir � tes d嶵uts sur TE.
Un moyen facile, je pense, pour voir l'憝olution de nos comp彋ences techniques aussi. La photo 彋ait petite, les couleurs non retravaill嶪s, la nettet� 彋ait suboptimale mais le coup d'oeil y 彋ait d嶴�... Et puis, tes commentaires 彋aient nettement plus laconiques!
Amiti廥
Marc
