Wow. This is a wonderful photo. You get the real impact when you few it large. The gold shines through of course. But the people make the photo. That is what pagoda is all about. People. How does this look in the sunshine? It is probably good button striking as night.

Very awe-inspiring shot! This does seems magical. Did you go to a ceremony? I love that you used sepia or is that the sunset?
Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the description.
Gorgeous pagoda. It's colors are fantastically clear, bright, vivid and fantastic. Background is awesome and enhancing it's colors much.
Properly centered, detailed and shadowed this is an astonishing photo and magnificent eye viewer.
Thanks for showing.
Congratulations and Good Luck.
May you and your family have a magnificent week end.

I love the pagoda, but the people in the foreground seem to be a distraction, not sure what can be done about it, but maybe cropping and actually removing in photoshop...

Comment from GaliaG
nice angle of shot and depth of field, but the fact that the people on the foreground are very blur while the focus on the background is also very soft takes from the initial impact

thanks for sharing

A great scene Fred. The golden glow against the pastel blue sky enhances this scene even more. Nice job of cropping to emphasize the temple and the people in the foreground. Well done Fred ~ Steve
