I can't travel as much or as long as I used to due to family illness but in the last 18 months have been to Laos and Iceland twice.
from Yangon (Myanmar), at the Schwedagon temple complex.

Hi New Member,
The shot includes people so you haven't violated any rules.
Nice effort.

Potentially tricky lighting in that scene but you have handled it well.

Thanks.
Shooting while travelling means taking the light that is there when I get there.
Looking at it now, it looks a bit dull so I did rework and repost.Last edited by thetraveler; 11th June 2016 at 07:45 PM.

This is a great pic. I love how the men's expressions and poses so closely resemble the statues. Just one question: what's that halo effect on the right, third statue from the front? It's a bit distracting.

Thank all for looking and taking time to comment.

If you mean
they are on the NEF.
It is hard to explain just how much light, from every angle, is bouncing around the Schwedagon complex.
The floors are white marble (and by 9 AM are hot enough to fry eggs) and the buildings are burnished gold.
Lots of light bouncing around, I imagine that's the cause of the bright lines.

I like the contrast between the men sitting and the gold work...
