4 towers and 4 tourists. Each tower has several enigmatic faces, carved into it. Built by King Javaryman VII, between 1187 & 1220 ad. There are a total of 37 towers, for this one temple.

hi chris, its exactly the sort of high saturation and contrast which i have been lately very keen on, great texture underlining; the visitors to the temple are a bonus for this picture;
nice;
have a nice friday, jerzy

Once more an interesting shot from the most famous site in Cambodia. Good perspective from the lower point enhancing the height of these buildings.
Well done!

Hi Chris


Very impressive Archticture. the mood is so impressive. i like the presence of the man with the white trouser.
cheers

Hi Chris,
It takes a while looking at the photo before the visages finally stand out of the stone, the unfavourable weather conditions spoiled the view a bit but I like these remains of a grand architecture.
Have a nice day,
jean-Yves

Hi Chris,
Excelent sharpness and texture capture of these four towers with also four tourists. Fine angle of view of a lower point, good satured and contrasting colors and a good work.

Welll seen and well composed. Congratulations!
Best to you.
Fernando

Hi Chris,
A fine capture of this interesting place,the almost monochromatic color works very well here and the included tourists add life and scale.
Greetings,

Hello Chris,

I am glad to see more of this place. At first I did not notice the photographers in the image. It's fun to see them in there and they help to give a good sense of the proportions of this place.

Have a good week-end - Paul

Hi Chris - this is one of those shots where you have to look at it for a while, and then you start to notice things. I didn't see the faces carved in stone right away, and I didn't see all the people until after I read your note. The sense of texture in this shot is incredible, with that weathered stone. Good work!

Hi Chris. I assume this is a scan even though it's relatively new but it's it didn't come out as good as we're used to. Maybe it's just the subject matter which makes it hard to judge. I still like the shot a lot especially the people and the light. Nice one Chris.

Hi Chris J
Wow a great ruins in the great archticture of Hindi. Well done. Thanks for sharing. huy

Hi Chris,
I like the juxtaposition of tourists and towers a lot here. This adds dynamism and of course a sense of scale. The light sky gives a delightful eerie twist to the scene. Good job.

Hi Chris, it is interesting to see the contrast of the modern people in contrast to the ancient ruin. Nice contrast and good details.

Hi Chris
That's a great angle, capturing the towers from the bottom and have it all perspectively arranged into the picture.

Chris, I enjoy your travel photos. This is a very interesting scene and the people add scale to what must be an amzing sight. Interesting to see you are using a Pentax ME Super that must be 25 yo - great compact SLR camera and great to see it in use. TFS, Garry

very nice shot of the rocks at this marvellous place I visited 2 months ago, well seen and taken, great details too
