Excellent, the intense gold and cooler blue are fantastic, and your framing is superb

great use of the door as a frame to lead the eye to the main subject... gives a kind of peekaboo feel... :)

nice contrast of colours!

@Kairospix: Thanks for the comment. These are not doors that you see. Those are pillars for the temple. The statue is so huge (46 m long) that you cannot see the entire statue from this angle.

Gorgeous. I went here about 6 years ago and took terrible photos! Back before I went digital. Your shots bring back lots of happy memories of what Wat Pho really looked like! I remember they were renovating the Buddha when I went there, it was all covered in scaffolding and you couldn't really see it properly. This series of shots are like surrogate holiday snaps for me!
