The 1st shot on de 3rd row jus blew me away! Great stuff! Shots dat i wished i wld get... i m drooling already.... Anyway, if i have to be critical, imo, maybe if u moved your perspective abit higher, maybe da "two towers" on de left wld not interfere wif de mountains in de background. Jus my view, no offence. BUT, a shot like dis is a FANTASTIC shot anyway!

I nearly missed your folder 2. De other shot of similar compo (3rd shot 1st row) did wonders 4 me agn. Both shots r creative in their own ways. As for dis one, I hv no complains at all. Perfect lighting & composition IMO.

just a little info on the place,..
The Borobudur Temple is considered as one of the seven wonders of the world.
Borobudur was built by Sanmaratungga in the 8th century, and belongs to Buddha Mahayana. Borobudur was revealed by Sir Thomas Stanford Raffles in 1814. The temple was found in ruined condition and was buried.

heres a scaled model of the structure...

The overall height was 42 meters, but was only 34.5 meters after restoration, and had the dimension of 123 x 123 meters (15,129 square meters). There were 10 floors. The first floor up to the sixth floor was square form, the seventh to the tenth floor were round form.

Borobudur is facing to the East with a total of 1460 panels (2 meters wide each). Total size of the temple walls was 2500 square meters, full of relief. The total number of panels with relief was 1212. According to investigations, the total number of Buddha statue was 504 including the intact and damaged statues. The temple undergone restoration from 1905 to 1910, and the last restoration was done in 1973 to 1983.

...cheers
