Photographer's Note
Bayon is in the centre of Angkor Thom, a place of stooped corridors, precipitous flights of stairs and, best of all, a collection of 54 gothic towers decorated with 216 enormous smilling faces, which is said to be resemblance to the great king, Jayavarman VII, who built this temple. As you walk around, a dozen or more of the heads are visible at any one time, profile or full-face, glaring you from every angle, smiling quietly and coldly. It's such an unique and powerful place, being visited by thousands of travelers all over the world everyday.

HI Wen Wen, I like the tight framing of the face and the blurred image of the other one at the background. Well done. Thanks for sharing, Alex

Hey Wen
Very good effort at the Bayon. I think we both love that place a lot. I like your foto for a fact you tried to capture a detail not the whole temple and it works very well. Cheers!
