Hi Geoff, This is a great capture using an iPhone.
Great colors, contrasts, actors, and overall context with a non-competing audience.
Great souvenir to add to your collection.
Lovely.   Posted: 01/05/2025 16:37:32

Hi Geoff- Is this in Angkor Wat, in Siem Riep, Cambodia. We enjoyed a visit there several years ago and this brings back some happy memories. I agree with Pierre- nice colors and actors, and a great souvenir shot. I tend to think that photos that will be entered into competitions will focus on the subject, such as the architecture and dancers, and remove the distractions of the tourists. The buildings there are really awesome- otherworldly- and I think they will carry the picture without the dinner scene. I tried to eliminate the dinner guests using PS generative fill, and one of the options came out like the attached. That's what I would look for in an architectural photo.   Posted: 01/06/2025 00:49:34

Hi Geoff. This a memorable and beautiful picture. I like how you include some of the guess dinner tables. It add nice atmosphere of the dinner show vibes. I would not change any thing.   Posted: 01/06/2025 22:27:28

The image is great but I do agree with the thought of eliminating the majority of the dinner tables. As it is, it's a great memoir but the real subject is the building.   Posted: 01/20/2025 14:58:32
