[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I discovered TL/TE a few years back when I was doing research for a trip to Cambodia. This is my attempt to post a sunrise photo of the famous Angkor Wat here at TL. (I have posted quite a bit at TE.) What I do remember was the pond infront of the facade filled with blooming lotus. Unfortunately, it was dry season when I arrived, and the pond was muddy with not much water. The sunrise was also 'so so' in terms of wow factor. What was surprising was the number of photographers at this very early hour. One could barely move freely, and the sound of clicks was overwhelming. It was a fun experience as I remember having stayed up all night partying with some new found friends.

I am pleased to read at the Forums section that Angkor Wat has received some $$$ for restoration.

I boosted brightness and contrast quite a bit, adjusted colour tones, and spiked saturation.

Hello Dan,

I like the silhouette and the colorful reflection of this image you produced. Great work mate. Being a scientist, one of your benefits are to go places, it's your time also to shoot different subjects. Great job you have there mate. I hope someday, you're gonna need an assistant photographer to shoot macro pictures, just think of me, I'm always available.
Thank you for considering my small camera in shooting macro shots. The complete data is Sony Cybershot DSC-W50. You could check it in the net if you have time. I'm still waiting to my lens from my sponsor from UK. Until now, they like my pictures. The "Gorgeous Mariposa" I posted here, was received 2 User's Award in ePhotozine.com where I am an active member also. Photophantom is my username. Please drop by there if you have the time. I'm very eager to use my Nikon D70 to check its capacity. I'm planning to go to a butterfly garden if that happens. All the insect you see in my gallery was taken only in my garden.
Till next time Dan.
Cheers,
Dennis

I really like the contrast from the pastel colours to the deep rich colours here Danilo. A reflected image that really seems of two different times with the beautiful historic place. Different and lovley. Well done,
Warm Regards
