Living eyes ...

This shot was made at our last travel to Asia - in the historical city Luang Prabang, or Louangphrabang.
It is located in north central Laos, on the Mekong River about 425 km north of Vientiane, and the capital of Louangphrabang Province. The current population of the city is about 103.000.

We visited almost all of the temples there - and here we found a collection of wonderful Buddha-Statues.
So I pulled out the camera with flash because of the dark room - and while focussing the szene I recognised some bright and curious eyes watching what I was doing - amidst of all those wooden faces - there was fire in a pair of eyes ...
look ... there was such a cute cat still a little tired after a nice sleep ;-)

I loved this moment so much and I'm happy to share it with you ... Enjoy ...

Marvellous and very spiritual place for a nap!
A splendid glance harmonizes with the richness of its environment!
TFS Wishnu,

How cool to see an ordinary cat amoungst the beautiful artifacts. Just shows you that life goes on! Nice catch here Sabine! His eyes match the gold of the statues!

Hallo Sabine,
ein wirklich schönes Bild. Dieser Gegensatz mit den Statuen und der Katze - sehr gut. Die Augen der Katze und der Statue schauen den Betrachter direkt an.

Hi Sabine,

we can learn one important lesson from this image: Life can come to all the places, life is all around us and we need to embrace it.

I like this shot! Nicely composed, good perspective and great colours.

Well done!

Have a nice evening,

Stasa

Hallo Sabine,
Interessante Geschichte die noch auf Foto fest gehalten ist.Sehr nette Figuren mit kuschelige Katze die noch überrascht auf dich schaut. Fokus perfekt auf die niedliche Katze gerichtet.
Liebe Grüße Siegfried

Hi Sabine.

Very nice picture. The composition is good and we can see a lot of details on the main statue. And the cat ! What a beautiful gardian. He really seems to warn you not to disturb this Holy place.

Regards and TFS

Hi Sabine,
This cat seems in complet harmony with this place. He could be the gardian of these Buddha statues. Excellent rendering of the golden coors.
Very well seen an done!

Well, the cat sure has the prettiest eyes of everything in the shot, Sabine ;o)
A nice observation! I'm a little confused about the DoF in the shot; the "golden face" to the right of the cat is out of focus, which at f/4 is not unusual; but then again, the statue on the right appears to be much closer, and it is in focus. Did you blur the backdrop in PP ? (a slight halo around the cat's head suggests that)
Anyway, besides the technicalities, it's a nice shot to look at.
TFS

Hello Sabine!

Best regards!
