Bonjour Vincent,
j'ai des très bons souvenirs de ce temple magnifique.
Malheureusement je l'avais visité en juin et le ciel était gris... Ici, par contre, il y a un excellent contraste entre le temple et le bleu du ciel.
Bonne journée

Salut Vincent,
C'est un merveilleux petit temple à échelle humaine. Le volume et les couleurs sont bien rendus.
Petits regrets sur le sommet du toit fleurtant trop avec le cadre.

Salut Vincent
Superbe ce petit temple, c'est un style assez différent de celui des pays alentour! Lumière et couleurs optimales, netteté parfaite... on dirait que tu étais le dos au mur pour le faire tenir en entier dans le cadre!(en haut et en bas ;D) sinon je pense qu'il y avait la place pour cadrer un poil sur la droite pour avoir le temple en entier a l'arrière , mais je dis ça pour chipoter un peu! C'est super beau!

Salut Voisin !
chouette petit temple et une vue pleine de lumiere, j'aime toujours bien ces pointes au dessus du toit meme si je les associe plus a l'indonesie, le ciel est d'un bleu superbe.
Bonne journee JY

Good advice in your last sentence ;-) Without any doubt the most beautiful temple of all. Again, you are tempting me to search my one photos with the decorations of the festival included...but I want to finish the tribes first. I remember that the light for these decorations was very dificult to manage. Good angle with nice colors. The compo is a bit tight but it works well. Excellent note. It's a pleasure to see these photos of yours.

Halfway through your note I was thinking "I bet he got the impression of a hill because he arrived by boat and had to climb up from the river" Continued reading proved me right. ;D It was the first place we visited after arriving by river. It is indeed a beautiful wat and a must see for everyone visiting Luang Prabang.
Your perspective composition has the advantage of showing the tree of life and the typical roof style and decoration. Good work

Hi Vincent!
Lovely picture of this temple....I remember it myself from 2 years ago. You have captured it perfectly I think, in such wonderful light. Your notes are great, and I agree, this is really the definitive style of Luang Prabang's temples. I wish I was there now. Keep up the great work, cheers, from Canada,

Hi Vincent,

It is far more interesting to see photos of the things you know. So I look at all your pictures from Laos with great interest. Louang Prabang is such incredible city, with all those temples, buddhist monks and Mekong river. I loved it. Of course, I visited this little temple too. Splendid is this tree of life mosaic and those tourqoise elements. unfortunately I have no good photos. But now I can see your wonderful pictures.


Regards

I could not capture this whole view, but thanks to your wide angle, you did. The Tree of Life mosaic is beautifully depicted. I like the twin perspective depicted here from this angle. Well done.

very nice photo Vincent.
good point of view the angle is good. I think that your superwide lens 10-22 was better for a shot like this, but even I like the good job, fine light and good contrast, good photojob, have a good weeekend.

Hi Vincent! excellent shot!When I saw the Temple me impressed two reasons. Your first architectural and good reception that as long as him I look at I discover new interesting points. The second reason the manufacture is in order that I made the thought that if it is pressed by all sides it will close as a fan or a umbrella,,Compliments wonderful work! Georgios

Hello Vincent,

In this image of the exotic temple you've presented an excellent example of two-point perspective, by choosing your vantage point as the corner of the edifice (all the parallel lines converge at two vanishing points on the horizon line, as you most likely know). The light, colors and resolution are all very good. I have a good friend who has a Canon EOS 30D and wants to upgrade to a 40D. I want to show your photographs to her to give her an idea of the camera's capabilities.

Warm regards,
Bulent

Salut Vincent,
Beautiful! Like in many other of your posts, I stare at it trying to remember anything meaningful to write about it besides the banal "great compo, beautiful light and colours", etc. All of it applies to it, but it sounds so little to say about it.
Bravo and TFS.
Amicalement, José.
