All great shots as usual, but the composition of #6 perfect.

You've done a great job here Peter. I enjoyed your travelogue on your other site. There is a lot of excellent photography shown there. It was almost like being there. Nice job on all of the photos. I'm jealous.

I hope that you enjoyed your trip.

Wow. 4,6,7 and 8 are just monumental (excuse the pun).
Beautifully rendered shots all round.
Love them all.
Thanks for sharing.

Excellent Peter glad you had some people to get a sense of scale. Those structures are impressive. What a piece of history.

great photos peter! i like how you captured the golden tones of the temple and colossi. your skies are nice and blue - did you use a circ pol?

i like #7, the falcon sentry at the base of the ramp to tier #2. i just found your page of photos and you really made good use of the wide angle (10mm). well done!

i also liked your shots of the sunsets with the silhouette of a minaret. Those are winners!

Jimbo · 10-21-2009, 05:31 PM

These are beautiful images Peter. Well done. I can not pick just 1-2 favorites but #4 sticks out for me. JIM

thanks Mike, yes I used mainly 10-20. I was really glad to have this lens. I didn't use CPL with it. I don't have CPL bigger than 58mm. But I like how the blues turned out too...
and thanks for looking at my pbase page..

Thanks, yes with the B&Ws (though they are slightly tinted) I was looking for "old look". I'm glad I managed to achieve it...
