The textures and hues are absolutely fantastic and very well captured indeed. I like the way you have compsoed this one. Great impact

Jose,
the contrast between the aging and decaying of the background as well as the statues itself against that yellow strap around the statue is fantastic. Simple composition with a lot of expression and character. An old image showing that you had previous to TE the right eye for details and composition.

Olá José,
the tracks of time are very well exposed here, but as you wrote, this does not decrease the importance. The cloth makes it astonishing.
A bit weak in the composition, centered, frontal. The workshop shows a more interesting one in my eyes, but the light is less.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hello José,
I have an excellent memory of my passages to Ayutthaya, and all these superb photographs make me remake these voyages.
Thank you.
Regards.
Marc

Hi Jose,
It's a straight forward taken photo, but i see it's one from a very long time ago, maybe the eye which you have know in creating a photo was not there yet. That person on the right just around the tree can be clone out, or maby a bit tighter crop would also work i think with all attention on the yellow robe. Oh well, it's just an idea and for such an old image not bad at all were also you did good work on the scanning proces...
Regards, Henk

Hi Jose,
well I see this picture is very old and I have to give you credit, you did a very good job with the scanning! Henk is right, I would have cloned the person out, but I think you did a very good job, especially with the scanning, thanks for sharing!

Take care
Mark

Hola Jose:

A pesar de ser una foto de vieja data, la calidad permite conservar aun sus vivos colores, con marcada maturalidad. Los rasgos, y los matices, afloran en todas las zonas de la escena, dentro de un perfecto encuadramiento.

Trabajo preservado con calidad a traves del tiempo.

Hola Jose,
Estupendos colores y contrastes con muy buenas texturas y profundidad. Supongo que la foto es escaneada lo que tiene más mérito por su buena calidad.
Cordialmente
Charo

zé

é uma bela peça de arte e o fato de estar vestida dá a foto uma vida que a estátua não teria mostrado por si mesma. Gostei muito das cores e da luz, o pov também é bom. Eu teria cortado as laterais e concentrado a força da imagem na estátua principal e na parede de tijolos do fundo. de qualquer maneira é um belo achado e bem mostrado.

abraços

Bom dia José, o local histórico mais fácil de aceder a partir de Bangkok - estive quase para lá ir, mas o Laos acabou por ganhar os dias todos que tinha. Mas hei-de lá voltar! :D 96? Viajaste pelo mundo todo muito antes de mim... ;-) Quanto à foto, gosto da composição central e do fundo tijolado que deve ser um daqueles stupas impressionantes em forma de sino a desfazer-se. Mas não consigo deixar de pensar na inclinação da estátua - bem sei que é mesmo assim e que foi por isso que a deixaste como está, pois és sempre rigoroso nestas questões, mas eu acho que punha o tronco dele perfeitamente vertical. Se não o tipo ainda acaba por cair e estragar a sua meditação eterna ;-) Gosto muito da vaca budista no WS1 - não só pelo interesse da estátua, mas também como imagem, com os brancos todos e o fundo desfocado.
Bom arranque de semana,
ricardo

Hello José.

You must enjoy archaeology as I do, digging down to past layers of strata. I see this excellent shot was created in 1996, and the post-processing is very good, suggesting that the post-processing was very good. The natural question I had was explained by your note — the sarong-like material draped over the statues shoulder.

Incidentally, in critiquing a photo submitted by Oscar Redondo (barrufeto_77) who lives in Barcelona, I asked about his advice on what to see in his city, when there is an impossibly tight schedule. He reviewed my last photograph (Tulum by the Sea) in response, and gave us a few leads. As you suggested, meeting at the pier on August 3 would give us an early start. In past days, I would welcome you and your family onto the Crystal Serenity for breakfast and a tour, but they've changed the rules. I was unable to get my permission to have my sister visit the ship just two years ago. This level of security is all an aftermath of September 11,2001, and of course there was the March 2004 terrorism in Madrid. The world we are leaving to our children, and their children — is not very pleasant.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Bonsoir José
Au moins Boudha ne craindra pas le froid.
Intéressante image au jaune pimpant; cependant je me demande si un cadrage plus large pour inclure les sstatues environantes.
Amitiés.
