From the thumbnail I thought "Oh, it's another view of the Gaudi church in Barcelona, but what's up with the Buddha?" - No, seriously, this is another great rendition of shapes and colors. I like the intricate details of the crafts in the foreground, and the way in which the Buddha in the back seems to watch over them. Great colors and light. Nice work, Yitzhak.

Very good perspective. I've been to this place in Koh Samui yet I never thought about taking a shot of this Buddha image from this perspective. Smart shot and very insightful too. (Thanks for the idea.)

When I saw the thumbnail also I was wondering if there is a golden Buddha in Barcelona. Or if there is Gaudi architecture also in Thailand... Those wooden crafts really looked like Gaudi´s architecture in the thumbnail – and also a bit in the actual image.

Great shot with many interesting details. The Buddha and the wooden crafts work very well together. Well framed.

The masks in the foreground are interesting, especially the patterns. Nice angle, with the golden Buddha looking down on everything. Well framed.

Very well seen, Yitzhak. As usual, you play with forms, textures and colours, and the result is again a very good one. Like the opposition of foreground to background

I like a lot that through all these masks the Budha in the background stands still without losing any significant detail

When I saw this photo I had the same reaction as the other. Gaudi...in Thailand?! Composition is very well accomplished with a lot of nice details and very interesting colors.

Décidemment vos cliché de faïence sont plus beaux les uns que les autres difficile de faire un chois si c’était a faire ;-)
Les couleurs Ors en haut du cliche font un bon contraste avec les couleurs rouges .Le cadrage est fort joli et les détails superbes.
Bravo une bonne prise Yitzhak

A nice touch to post this immediately after your Gaudi images! A strong composition full of interest, Yitzhak.

A very busy shot. I like that the Buddha is in the background a bit blurred. It makes for good DOF. Very interesting subject. I would have been tempted to crop out the light pole. It just does not fit there. Still a very nice shot.

I tried a WS.

Interesting ornaments. I like the choise with the Buddha behind of the front element. Good composition and good colours.
