Good morning Federico

I was surprised as i panned down the photo, to see even more subjects with the skyscrapers in the background. I was expecting to only see the temple.
Nice surprise.
Very well composed cityscape, a little bit of everything, a temple, gardens, skyscrapers and appartments.
Well done

Una bella paanoramica su questa città dai contrasti tra antico e moderno. Mi piace la luce calda e i colori morbidi, e naturalmente la pagoda col suo giardino è un soggetto molto fotogenico. Un bel documento per TE.

Ciao,
