Supergold, Thank you Thank you Thank you for posting this photo. I am in love with romance of the jungle taking back its rightful place and tearing apart most of the temples but yet sacrificing others. And what it sacrifices it frames like it is proud to be a living part of that Temple, like in this photo. The lines of the ficus roots moving around the door almost making an archway just seems beautifully odd how and why it does that. I love how you captured the tans and greys of the stone work and then that bright almost chartreus green of the sun hitting the leaves in the upper left of the frame. Makes me want to be there. Thank you again.

This is a very cool photo of the roots of the tree growing over the temple. I love all the ways the roots are taking over. I bet it is wonderful to go and visit. Thanks for sharing.

First of all thank you very much for the detailed description of the scene. I've been dreaming of visiting Angkor for a long time, I hope still to be able to go there once. I feel so happy that you share some pictures here! This is a mystical place, I love your photo for the perspective, the roots, the colors. Thanks a lot!

WOW... talk about living in a tree house! This gives a new spin to that concept! All of the network of branchy-roots is fascinating! The frame of the roots frames the door in an exquisite way. Nice leading lines on the little fencing.

It seems like you are always travelling to places I would very much like to see. What an amazing place this must be where the vegetation is about to take over. I would however have tried to darken the sky a bit because it is very close to over exposure.

Your photo is however nice and sharp showing really fine details and textures both in the construction and the trees.

I think the way you have cropped this is working well, and with the POV you used the photo has good leading lines bringing the viewer into the composition. It is all together a well taken and very interesting photo, but I find the bright sky a bit distracting.

This is really a lot to
look at and study. I am surprised they have allowed nature to rule this temple.

It almost makes it look eerie to me, and I can certainly understand why it is the most visited place in this area.
You have captured all the outside influence (which may actually be holding up the stones as they look loose.

A little light at the top, but that can't be helped, just a part of the scene.

Good work.
