Swaddee Krub everybody,

For the 3rd day in Yogya,in the afternoon I bound for the evening sunlight of this day at Borobudur.When I reached the Borobudur that in late afternoon but still many peoples there.I'd start to find the close shot of Buddha statue around platform of the monument that I'd took many shot at this side.At western side in this time had a golden smooth light in lower angle that I still took a close shot of buddha statue . Then,when I started to took a shot of wide angle.I saw my shadow laid down in a long line leaded to the Borobudur that shoot this shot with thinking of " this is Borobudur and me".

For post process,Firstly I duplicate 2 layer to split sky layer from BG layer,Then use shadow/hight light to adjust hight area on sky layer and still use shadow/hight light on BG layer to open detail in shade. Secondly,I cropped a little bit to composition then use curve to adjust contrast.Thirdly,I use color balance and hue/saturation tool to adjust the color for BG.Finally,I used smart sharpen, framing and resize to finish.

For further information : The WIKI for all season on Borobudur and the useful information on Borobudur form part of Project Jigsaw

Hi Prapat

Good inclusion of the shadow, to add interest to the magnificent Borobodur Buddhist temple complex. Excellent colour & sharpness. Tfs!

Un face à face bien sympathique que celui de ce temple face à ton ombre, belle composition!!!
