Reclining Buddha at Wat Phot

Canon EOS 5D with EF17-40mm F4L

I like them both, the light shimmering off the last one is nice and the effect in the first one of it trying to peak around the corner to see cheekily whats goin on.

Shame the light bulb is there though, takes away from it a little bit.

Thanks for the comment.

But I kinda like the light bulbs in the frame.

Sorry my friend but I have to agree with MrSquigle that the light bulbs are distracting. Love the shot and atmosphere, nice angle to shoot from, BUT keep looking at the lightbulbs which I'm sure ain't the intent!

Another one from Wat Pho.

Despite the discussions on flash use in another thread,

I hope these shots will inspire members to experiment with

natural light shots.

Unless you are a professional with multiple units, flash here would fail,

lighting on the foreground and still leaving the background dark.

Pity about the fan in the bottom right corner.
