This is one of the best pictures I have ever seen at betterphoto. Very well done. #5082048

November 16, 2007

Marvelous work!

Like very much with the depth of field effect and how you combined 2 different objects on this picture (balloon & row of stupas).
It just brought my "soul" examine the ever last of Budha's thought to unlimited "Time & Space".

Min Htike Aung November 16, 2007

Thanks for the comment Rtogog. I took the photo from a pagoda so that I can get high angle or the panaroma view and I used 17-40mm lens so that I got a wide scenery. Depending on the tourists seasons there are balloons over bagan but it is quite expensive , just a half an hour ride for 250 US Dollar :P #5082199

Nikki McDonald level-classic November 25, 2007
