Lovely peaceful photo. The atmosphere of this beautiful and ancient place is captured perfectly with these dark greens and browns.

I like the sporadic lighting there and here but with subtle control. the colors are not very bright but they help the right mood to come out of the image. There are some black parts in the top section but i guess its acceptable considering the whole image.

well I guess considering also that the image is being viewed on a non calibrated monitor i guess the black parts can be negated. Wonderful shot.

Nice shot but is it a little underexposed?

Very nice composition. But the way it’s processed it looks more like a painting than a photograph.

Super! Die Linie zwischen Natur und Moterne sind verschwommen.
Weiter so.

Excellent picture! You have to go again in the fall when they have a festival using paper lanterns to walk this path.
