Temple Wat Plai Laem, Koh Samui.

Moins connu que le temple du Big Bouddha, le Temple Wat Plai Laem construit récemment en 2004 se situe non loin de ce dernier. Wat Plai Laem est l'œuvre de l'artiste Khun Jarit Phumdonming, c'est un des temples le plus coloré de Koh Samui, avec la particularité d’être placé sur un grand nénuphar au milieu d’un petit lac.

Hi Urs,

Bravo! What a harmony of colors in this holy Buddhist temple. The sharpness is perfect with nicely chosen POV. There exists a great color contrast within the picture, making this shot a very eye-catching one. Congratulations!

Have a nice weekend.

regards,
Paras Bhalla

Hello Urs,
I felt like I was in Disneyland the first time I visited Thailand because of the magnificent architecture and costums. This is well composed. The influence of Indian aspect of Buddhism is well displayed in this scene. Best regards...

Hi Urs,
What a spectacle of colors and light. It must be an impressive sight to see. I don't think that his is a very strong composition. Its hard to find a focal point and the composition looks cluttered. Actually there isn't a single statue that is not blocked by something else. A different POV would have certainly help.

Hi Urs,

Very sharp and detailed to perfection!
Nice sculptures of golden color!
A nice POV and a wonderful inclusion of the blue sky.
Well presented in this black frame.

dear Urs,
a wonder and wonderful shot of the shining temple,
the Buddhism in Thailand looks rather different from Japanese,
the decorations there are too gorgeous to be religious...
anyway, as an artistic and colorful photo object, it appears its special figure under this clear blue sky,
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa

Bonjour Urs

what a beautiful place
nice contrast gold blue
excellent light control and colors
beautiful details
Nice POV
Greetings,
Oana

Hello, Urs -
Excellent image of this highly ornate temple. Great POV to take in so many fine details, which are sharply shown and brilliantly lit by the sun. You manage the strong sunlight well - the decorations glow with vibrant color but are not OE. Well done.

Hi Urs

This temple looks new, since I was last in Samui in late 2006 / early 2007. Superb sharpness & saturation. The polarizer has done its job well. Good contrasted lighting & excellent framing. Tfs!
