"Sri Dalada" temple of the tooth relic at Kandy - Sri Lanka. "Following the ancient tradition, since the bringing of the sacred Tooth Relic to Sri Lanka in the 4th century AD, Kandyan kings too established the Relic shrine within the precincts of the Royal Palace. As seen in the 1765 Dutch plan, the Royal Palace and the Tooth Relic shrine were well guarded by a moat and strong ramparts with three bridges to enter the complex, viz.one to enter the Royal Palace, one to enter the Audience Hall meant for dignitaries and the third to enter the Tooth Relic Temple. During the rule of the last king, Sri Vikrama Rajasimha, the central bridge and the one leading to the Relic shrine have been joined into one as seen today" Visit the official site here http://www.sridaladamaligawa.lk/english/

A stunningly beautiful image. I love the lighting and the hint of of a mist in the air. Very well done.

Great lighting. like the way it looks like it is glowing and the reflection of the still water. the only thing that I hope for is a fuller size image.

Well, wasn't hard to pick this one out of your galleries Priyantha.

In a way, one could say ... it picked me. :o)

Am I correct in my assumption that you employed a cross screen filter?

I haven't seen this effect on the site ... strike that ... was about to say, 'in a while' ... I have yet to come across it. Of coure, that is not to say that there are not any images on the site. Simply have not come across any. And I have seen some instances where it could have been of benefit to the photographer and composition.

That aside, correct or incorrect assumption on my part ... the end results speak volumes visually.

This is gorgeous. Wonderful composition and a night shot shows off the beauty of the magic of the temple.

Great choices made by you all around. A big, big well done on your visual offering here to us. And thoroughly enjoyed by this viewer.

Thank you. :o)
