[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Golden Myanmar - And it is true. Many of their pagodas are completely gilded, especially their biggest one, the Shwedagon in Yangon (formerly Rangoon). Here you can see a - very small - section of it. We were told that every year the Shwedagon is newly gilded. And that is how it looked indeed. Most beautiful against an evening sky in December.

PP: Cropped, re-sized and framed, that's all.

Thank you for your visit.

Stunning colours and details, Cordelia and so nice to see you back here again! My compliments on the handling of the gold: very easy to get blowouts in the highlights but these look very good.

Hello Cordelia,
This is so beautiful and you were able to work very well with that difficult light and the reflection on this golden pagoda. The colors and sharpness are also excellent. Very well done.

Hi Cordelia,
I like the way you have composed and framed this shot to emphasise the golden sphires. This scene has alot of great lines, textures and shapes in it. Set against a nice bly sky. Looks great!

Well done

Hi Cordelia,

It is wonderful, the gold city. Fantastic, a wonderful vision for the eyes, as much of the gold as of the details in her.
Great shot, great composition!

Hello Cordelia!
This is a magnificent display of how a poor people can spend a lot of money on the spiritual...

I hope everything is ok despite you stopped reporting from those dangerous parts for quite a long time...

I wish you a nice coming week!
Anton
