Hi Farhat, well taken and clear picture of the work. (IMHO) could have cropped the right side of the stone a bit getting the subject more room, however nice shot.

Bonjour Farhat,
J'aime beaucoup ce cadrage serré sur la statue et le mur de pierre qui tente de la cacher aux regards. Même si la lumière est difficile les détails ressortent parfaitement.
Amicalement

Hello Farhat,
Fine view of the ancient Sun-God in dark-grey tone, and contrast with the renewed pillar on side, probably a support on the restoration work on.
Good light upon, calrity is super.
Good evening,

Hi Farhat,
I see that you are expanding our cultural awareness and I appreciate it. I like the color and light management in this photo. Sharpness is good, the viewer can see details in the intricate shapes.
I have comments/questions on the composition. I will address them by uploading an alternate cropping in the workshop.

Hello Farhat,
a very interesting description of the art, colours and textures of the temple through a well chosen detail. I like the slight perspective and the way you solidified the composition using the wall. Although the light is mild, there's considerable lighting and chromatic contrast and you dealt with them effectively. The rendering of details and textures is excellent. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely month,
Ourania

Hi Farhat,
The pillar is helping to frame the state. The point of view is showing the détails and colors of the statue of Sun God. The good lumiosity is giving nice tints to the colours. Have a nice day.

Hi Farhat,
You're capturing well this stone statue of the Sun God by a good angle and excellent tone/clarity, so it's impressive to see its look gentle and the surrounding scaulpture. It is interesting when that this is a temple which worships the sun when also considering the India religion which permits polytheism.
Kind regards,
mikio

Namaste dear Farhat
Excellent close up. The tight framing brings out the best of the details, colours and textures. I particularly like the details of the God on the left and how the dark brown contrasts with the reddish stonework on the right.
Thanks for sharing, have a lovely day

Hi Fahrat,
There is a lovely contrast between the dark intricate artwork on the statue and around it, and the nice texture of the rosy sandstone on the right.
However, I agree with some other members, thinking that the rosy wall takes a little too much space.
I like Murat's WS.
However, all in all, it's a very pleasant shot.
Best wishes.
Marie-Louise.
