great colours with a dramactic sky. perhaps a tweak in photoshop to correct the converging verticals but i like this all the same.

WOW! This is so beautiful. Great color. The gray sky is dramatic and a nice addition as the buildings and water are so vivid. Nice job!

Just got back after looking at your website. Your photography is truly wonderful. I especially enjoyed the India and Saudi Arabian galleries. Congrats on winning the Travel Digital Photographer of the year… and POTD.

I like the composition and I like the concept.

I love the way you highlight not only the past and present existing together, but also the beautiful natural surroundings of the lush green mountains, trees, and pond with water lillies. The stormy sky just adds extra drama and brings the composition to life by making the vivid colors pop out for the eye to notice. One of my very, very favorites of all! Congratulations on your Photo of the Day!!

Very nice moody shot. I like the shades of color how they morph in from nice natural color of nature to the grey misty dull colors of the city behind.

Beautiful picture. Excellent choice for POTD. I love the contrast between the old and the new, the temple for the spirit and the skyscrapers representing the drive and hard work of many. Congratulations.

I never normally comment on these photos, cos i know very little about photography. But i like the way the Buddist temple and the trees seem to be reflected in the water by the colours of the lilys

Very unique visual dichotomy in this image.
omar franco
it is a good picture, too much dark in the sky for my taste, the colors look gray overall.

The sky and water look beautiful.

Amazing how the green and brown leaves have seperated into little islands, and their visual harmony with the colors in the old and new buildings.

This is beautiful. Perfect. You have ‘taken’ me to a place I have always wanted to be. Even if just for a moment’s taste, it was quite enjoyable.
