Gorgeous! What an amazing place! Truly perched there, one wonders how it was built and even how one gains access to it! Love the colors and the scenery behind is stunning! Great composition and lighting!

Magnifique ! Votre photo est superbe car elle représente parfaitement ce lieu étonnant. Le cadrage vertical colle parfaitement à ce lieu escarpé. Les couleurs sont superbement rendues avec une saturation parfaite et les détails ressortent admirablement tels ces rochezrs au premier plan, ces maisons typiques accrochées à la falaise ou encore un arrière plan de fournit d'épineux. Très bien réalisé, bravo !

Bonjour Armand,
Un cadrage vertical qui convient parfaitement à ce paysage escarpé ! Vaut mieux ne rien poser sur les rebords des fenêtres...

Un peu dommage que la lumière soit si rude, mais les couleurs des constructions ressortent bien sur la falaise et les arbres. Bien vu et bien réalisé (attention toutefois à la séparation arbres-ciel).

Amicalement,
Youssef.

Pffff... Je sais pas quoi dire, c'est endroit est fabuleux!
Quelle grande civilisation d'hommes patients et méticuleux
pour avoir construit ce monastère dans un lieu pareil.
Quel dévouement! Tout simplement la classe!!! Les couleurs
sont superbes et le cadrage parfait!
Merci

Very very nice shot!! How this can be built is really fascinating. Very good frame, colors....perfect. Thank you very much!

banyanman (7797) 2005-11-14 4:54

What a wonderful photograph of this monastery, Armand. Your POV really makes this composition quite outstanding (apart from the fact that you have framed it perfectly). I didn't have the energy to climb up this high - the lookout below was as high as I got. Technically everything is right about this photograph and you have achieved excellent sharpness. I have added this to my favourites. Cheers . . . David

Bonjour Armand,

Wow, que dire de plus, le paysage est à couper le soufle et ta photo le met merveilleusement bien en valeur. Les couleurs sont excellentes. La netteté, la PDC, le point de vue, la luminosité...le tout est proche de la perfection (puisqu'elle n'existe pas!) Pas facilement accessible ce monastère!
Bien vu!
Quentin.

Stunning photo of an equally stunning place. Good work on the depth and perspective here, and the colours come out wonderfully vivid.

Incroyable ce monastère, vraiement paradisiaque !

jrleborgne (1554) 2006-06-22 10:19

Bonjour Armand,

Ce monastère perché de manière spectaculaire rappelle le site grec des Météores .
Il est certain qu'il vaut mieux ne pas avoir le vertige quand on ouvre une fenêtre.
Comment avez vous pris cette photographie ? Vous trouviez vous sur un autre rocher du même type situé en face ?
Ou est ce grâce à un effort de lévitation dantesque de votre part ? :)

kabo (356) 2006-07-26 6:16

This is really GREAT, excelent picture and one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen on picture. I would love to visit that place sometimes:)
You are very lucky :)

You've already accumulated heaps of points, but I have to give you two more. Bhutan is such a mystic place and I would love to visit (too bad for the fees). This looks like a magnificent place and absolutely gorgeous.
You've put the temples in a good spot showing the drop of the cliff. Good colours in the green and blue in the sky.
