Inside Angkor Wat, a photo from Siem Reab, West

Photographer's Note

Walking outside the temple buildings or in the gardens is, despite the amount of visitors, a quite experience. The buildings are huge and seem to dominate the human presence completely. When you are inside, this is no longer the case and the people visiting are highly dominant.

Most times we only see this temple from outside, Gerrit, reckon an indoor's picture which I see first time.
Excellent take with the people / visitors in there, the peeling ceiling and culumns still offer an attractive ancient design to look at.
Good afternoon,
Ike

Hello Gerrit,
This is a good composition with fine depth created by the architecture and the visitors. It is an interesting combination of ancient art and modern tourism. The half woman in the lower foreground is slightly disturbing me, so I hope you won't take offense that I tried a WS.
Best regards,
Gert

Goedenavond Gerrit,

U gebruikt de jonge dame die precies aangeeft wat u moet fotograferen.
Natuurlijk heeft u terzelfdertijd animo voor uw foto.
Maar we krijgen ook een mooi zicht op het plafond van de tempels.
Goed foto werk, bedankt.

Grieten uit Vlaanderen,
John

Hi Gerrit
Fortunately the crowds keep mainly to limited areas (especially tour groups) and I found we could find equally interesting but quiet spots.
This good photo gives us an idea of interior decorations even if not as sharp as usual.
cheers
Ian

Hi Gerrit,
Interesting view of this famous historic monument, well framed, good light management to well see the ceiling, good vertical presentation, tfs.

Hello Gerrit,

I wonder what the woman in the centre was pointing at? The ceiling itself is quite uninteresting but the panels either side are intriguing. Tfs!

Hello Gerrit,

Inside the temple is a great shot.
The position of the young lady, with her hand guiding us upwards, to explore the ceiling as well as the wall, is very well positioned. She is dramatically situated as a model might be in an advert or a film.
Excellent depth and clarity.
Gert has done a fine job cloning out the part figure.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Gerrit,
you have some really good photos uploaded recently, it is so hard to pick one and not enough time to comment on all of them.
I am not sure what the girl is doing but with the pink hat and a strange pose she make sthis photo really interesting. You have captured her not only in a graceful pose but also well placed in the context of the passage.
Excellent result. Even though I usually see people in the photos as annoyance, I start to appreciate that they can make lovely decoration sometimes,
M
