So what film is it? Could you give us some exif info?

Number three and four are my favorites but the shadow in three is driving me crazy. It negates the effect of the natural light you're getting in the corner. It's an excellent shot otherwise.

35mm Fuji Velvia 100 F, all with a Sigma EX 24-70 2.8 lens

#3: 24mm f/10 and most likely 1/200 to 1/400

#4: approx. 50mm and most likely also around f/10

those were all taken in very strong late afternoon light.

#1 is dandy! Well done.

thanks surfingfireman!

Dylan: I agree the shadow is distracting, but I had not choice

Maybe you like this one better than, same location, but less shadow:

Wow-wow-wow. All cool! I like them all.
And would have loved to see all of them a bit bigger. They have so much to look at and my old eyes are straining here to make out all the intricate detail of the oriental architecture which you captured so well.

Let me say that I probably like the very first of this series bestest of all. You took that in driving past! Coolest!
