Love it

As I look I think the temple is on a slant.

Will fix tomorrow

Fixed the first one and thought this might be interesting.

The trees in the first image have quite an interesting shape!

The second image draws me in, though I couldn't tell you why if you asked me.

great use of the foreground to create depth and leading lines

Tbh, that wasn't in my mind.
I was just trying to get the feeling of these temples where a brightly lit alcove sits facing a dark open space.
I was hoping that I could catch a worshipper seated a good distance away and silhouette them against the lights but the only person there, (it was 4 am) left just as we walked up.

And I liked the reflections in the floor.

I really like the halo (or whatever the equivalent word would be); Is that a tiled mosaic? It looks like lights.

The OP is exceptional. Crop the top a little. It's a picture that tells a story of opulence and the rest of the world. Bravo.
