Thanks for the comments...I learned something from the more critical ones. I love this shot, but probably because I was so taken with the place, and so the more objective critique is helpful.

It is Ta Phrom Temple in the Angkor complex of temples in Cambodia. This temple is the most over-run, but in some ways the most beautiful.

@ Craig - I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes it is hard to separate your memory of a place from what you actually manage to capture in your photos. I know I often get home, fire up Photoshop, and then wonder what the hell happened to all those great shots I thought I had.

I had the exact same problem you're having here with some stuff I shot last weekend. I shot right into the sun and there was nothing I could do really to make them look the way I wanted.

Your image here reminded me of that. Hopefully I'll think about it the next time I'm in the field.

Yup. I submitted a version of this shot back in "the end", and re-edited it here based on some of the comments back then, but there is indeed only so much you can do. Pity.
