A Very difficult shot to get right. I had numerous attempts at this and I'm still not 100% happy with it, but this is the best of a bad lot. The idea was to get the temple lit adequatly without going too far. If you look between the two pylons there is a white dot. That isn't a blemish, it's the star Sirrius in the night sky.

Ray, you've done a very good job here under incredibly difficult circumstances. The lighting certainly turned out well, and it's a pleasure to view :)

What a cool picture of you captured. I like how they are lit up and most everything else around it is dark. It makes for a very dramatic shot and will make a great desktop.
