A nice and informative shot presented here. It has a good composition providing a sense of scale and depth. Just wondering why most of the people seem to be women?

Comment from Mama Mia1
Yes, this is a totally gorgeous shot, especially with the decoration in the temple. The worshippers are kneeling and praying to the Buddha? The depth of this temple is also amazing, as is the colors in the interior.

This is very interesting. I would like to see more of the alter and less of the people. the alter looks so cool. But I understand why you took this and used it for the contest.

An interesting view of the temple with all those burnished warm tones. I like the color contrast of the worshipers apparel and the fact that there is not a blonde hair in sight.

The framing of the image is good with the golden columns and idols framing the people worshiping and drawing you deeper into the image. :) Mary

Fred,
A beautiful picture of the kneeling Worshippers in the Shwedagon temple with the statues of Buddha on either side dressed in silken saffron robes. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

a good perspective presented here in this shot portraying the many followers in this small but what appears to be beautifully decorated piece of religious architecture.The structure is good as is the sharpness of your focusing and very apt for the contest
