Nice photo too, I have seen a lot of this Buddha in particular, and it’s difficult to have an original angle, I really think this one does it :))
salsbells69 replied
Oh good! I have seen a few too, probably why i hadnt placed him on here til now. Thanks for your wonderful enthusiasm and encouragement.
Cvail73
Ah ah ah that’s for sure, I forgot for a moment that I am exactly him – sort of speak – ;)

Beautiful and stunning!
salsbells69 replied
Thankyou~!!!
DaveBassett
Great shot. An most unusual and effective angle.
salsbells69 replied
Thankyou Dave. The angle was due to it being a reclining bhudda..hard to get around the ornate pillars that lined each side of the head area..there was only so far you could go as it was also blocked off with bollards. Thanks so much for your time and comment :D
bobbymcleod
gonna have to stop and pay this one a visit in a few weeks!
salsbells69 replied
Its a very interesting place bobby. There is the emerald bhudda temple in the same place..but i never got to see it..The cue was too long. But well worth a visit as there is plenty to see..you could spend a good few hours there without a problem. I hope you enjoy it there. This reclining bhudda has inlaid mother of pearl on his feet..which is interesting too…thanks for stopping by..and commenting :))
Sheila Smith
Wow this is great Sal .

Straight from the heart – I am really impressed:)
salsbells69 replied
Thankyou :D
gatherdowns
Sheesh I wanted to see his feet…hahaha A really well composed shot due to the different angle. It would look great as it is normally seen but because you invoked and saw differently it captures a lot more interest.
salsbells69 replied
Thankyou. That is such a wonderful compliment :D
amarica
Powerful image, beautiful capture Sal.
salsbells69 replied
Thankyou again Amarica~! :))
Geoff Coleman...
What clever framing – works a treat – unusual and beautiful.
salsbells69 replied
Thanks Geoff~!!! This was the only angle i could choose really..pylons in the way!!
hardhhhat
Great shot – I know how hard it is to shoot this with all the tourists around and it being so large. I have a shot of it somewhere from the feet to the head to try and get it’s size in but it doesn’t do it justice. Love the colours you have captured here. Did you know it isn’t an actual Buddha it was built for tourists ;o)
salsbells69 replied
No, I didnt know that!! I too, have a shot from feet to head.but you are right it doesnt do it justice. The angle is hard to capture on the head due to the pillars and the area cordoned off around the head. The colours are straight from my camera..so i guess i was lucky with the light. Thanks so much for the history..:D
hardhhhat
I have found that picture – it’s on my web page www.hardhhhat.com under snaps->Thailand 2005 and it’s near the bottom and I have a shot almost Identical to yours and the laying down version :o) there are also lots of other Thai pictures in that collection…
Joaquin Loyzaga
What a Beautiful Shot!

well worth all the comments youve gotten on it!
salsbells69 replied

gardenofbeeden
Such a magical place. I found it really difficult to capture the sheer size of the reclining buddha. You image does it much better justice than the one I have in my shoebox :)

I like it…...................
This sunday ( May 10 ) is Buddha’s Birthday, and I have been asked by the Abbot to be the Photographer at the Temple in Fawkner, Melbourne.
So guess what I will be doing all day sunday.
Take care my friend.

Nicholas Richa...
I think I may have commented on this image before, but I’m always struck by it. This fantastic reclining Buddha is right there, available for all of us (myself included) to shoot, yet personally I’ve never been able to get a shot as brilliant as this. Fantastic work!
salsbells69 replied
Nicholas, that is such a wonderful compliment! Thankyou so much :)))))
