That is one impressive piece of architecture. I most definitely appreciated your notes. I would have had no idea about the precious jewels and gems used here.

Perfect ttime of day to take a photo isn't it? I love the way objects (and my flowers) look so different once the sun goes down. I particularly like how you've managed to even show a Buddha inside. The soft, muted colors are lovely. Best of luck in the contest sg.

An iconic building which is well lit and shown in fine detail. But it is the religious significance, not just the architectural, that makes this a destination for Buddhists the world around. You have shown that aspect very well. I like the crowd, the building and the night scene. Best of luck in the voting.

Fred,
A very beautiful & mystical picture of the Golden Pagoda glowing in the dark with a statue of the Buddha seen through one of the glowing window through which light is streaming the many pilgrims slightly out of focus add to the atmosphere & lead to eye to the Pagoda's tip. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

This is a great image. The perfect time to get great night photographs is before is gets completely dark... a point lost on many newbies.

I love the composition and the warmth of this image. Had those people been in sharp focus this would have been worth a 6.

Good luck in the competition. Thank you so much for sharing.

Comment from Life is but a dream.
I truly hope that you are not slammed for blurred people for , to me , that what makes the photo alluring and tells us that it is night and this is long exposure and people are going to pray.

Colour palette is lovely, yellow and blue and the technical elements well done as far as sharpness, contrast, exposure.

A well captured photojournalistic shot Fred.

Hi supergold,

This is a lovely golden image from you with a twilight sky for a background. The buildings looks alive, aflame and in rotation too! Thanks for sharing. R
