Hello Gerrit,
This is a classic view where the temple is perfectly reflected in the large pond. This could also have been converted to B&W, because the dull weather made the colours less attractive.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Gerrit,

Perfectly composed and cropped, with a wonderful symmetrical refection and good sharpness and lighting. The minimalist colour works well here. Tfs!

Hallo Gerrit,
Ik was er zowat twee jaar later in exact dezelfde periode van het jaar en besef bij het zien van deze foto dat ik geluk gehad heb wat het weer betreft.
Anderzijds heb ik dan toch niet zo'n foto met weerspiegelingen van de tempel en palmbomen in het water.
Door hun kleurrijke kledij vallen de vele bezoekers op tegenover de donkerder achtergrond.
Het grootste tempelcomplex ter wereld trekt massa's toeristen.
Vele groeten, Paul

Goedenavond Gerrit,

Ondank het donker weer het lijkt wel regenachtig, krijgen we een goed zich on de temples in de achtergrond.
Misschien was Cambodja toen rijker dan vandaag, om deze religieuze gebouwen op te trekken.
Ook de weerspiegelingen zijn zeer welkom op deze aantrekkelijke foto.
Goed foto werk, bedankt.

Groeten uit Oost-Vlaanderen,
john

Hi Gerrit
A good photo of what tends to be everyone's first view of the temple. Good dark tones and reflections.

Hello Gerrit,

I had not heard of Angkor Wat until I joined TE. I have found it to be a fascinating place, sadly, one I will never see personally, but one which I have enjoyed learning about through the photographs of other contributors, like yourself.
The light was not wonderful for photography yet you have made an interesting photograph, where the features are mirrored in the water.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hallo Gerrit,
Een klassieke foto van het beroemde tempelcomplex. De centrale torens en de vele palmbomen steken mooi af tegen de hemel en worden bovendien mooi gespiegeld in het kalme water.

Hi Gerrit,
Amazing sight. A postcard style presentation, rather unique in your gallery which is rather full of original compositions. Great point of view which allowed you to include the reflection of the famous silhouette. The weather didn't spoil you but I heard the weather is often bad there.
Very well done,
M
