Wonderful place! A nice catch. I do see a problem and that is the light on the top of the pic. Too much of it. I can see how this would be a hard pic. You will have to sacrifice information but try cropping the top half off. See what you think. Cheers, James.

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Fred,
The miracle to me is that the temple is still standing with these mighty Jungle trees & creepers growing on & into the ruins showing the power of nature to claim back for herself what man has made. Beautiful composition framing & atmospheric lighting with superb camera techniques with sharp focus.

Nice capture of the tree roots over construction. This is a challenge of preservation of heritage against nature. Great lighting, focus and composition.

Comment from Life is but a dream.
Not an easy shot to get with that bright light up top and dark below. YOu did well oh HOLY ONE of site.

I like the detail you have caught and the pull on our eyes wondering what is inside and through that door. The trees taking over make for splendid patterns which further entice us.

Love traveling vicariously with you. Where to next?

Great photo and wonderful artist notes. Have traveled a lot but never to Cambodia. Your frame and angle are excellent on this amazing ruin. I so enjoyed reading about it. Thanks so much for sharing.

Another excellent shot of the giant trees. Great color and contrast, nice illumination, texture, and sharp focus, like good composition, good DOF and frame. Great job
