I love the angle which you took this form Priyantha. The blue sky with the white clouds is a perfect background for the pagoda's and the Buddha statue. What is a dharmackakra stance statue? Does it hold special meaning?
I like how the wall behind the Buddha has the purple decorations of sorts. This is very well composed and has great clarity, good color and high quality.
Thank you for sharing more of the rich history and traditions of your country. It is much appreciated by me :~)

This is so pretty, it is such an overwhelming image. Many colors that give life to the picture, nice clouds in the sky and Buddha is like he's staring right at me. Makes me wish I could see that live.

If you can't find the words, you may as well shoot it...

That’s an amazing structure, you must be able to see it from miles away. You got the exposure right and I expect that was tricky with all that reflective gold. It’s a fascinating shot and well presented.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important. Ruth Ross
