I like the use of the doorway for framing, just wish there was light on the childs face to make out their expression.

colors are a bit flat and picture a bit noisy

I love the little guy in the corner, watching you. What would have been just a pretty travel shot is made so much more effective with him.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I love the framing of the doorway and the little child really helps keep this from being a distance shot, making him a primary interest point along with the background building.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The child really helps make this image but I feel the contrast could do with upping a little.

Love the framing element for this composition

I like the framing through the window, and the little boy standing there gives the personal feel as in your title.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

A bit washed out but very interesting perspective.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice framing through the wooden window, the perspective and the child in the foreground really make a wonderful composition.

This a terrific shot, the crowning touch is the little boy.
His presence is almost indicative of an element of the future being included in your homage to the past. 8

The child turns this into a great shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 05:25:47 AM
Lovely natural framing and symmetry. The outside could have done with a tad more contrast but otherwise a great shot.

fascinating mysterious.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 07:23:44 PM
through a door...a gradient filter would have made the temple in the background a bit more vivid...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

well done , I love your composition and presentation, 8

  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 09:50:00 AM
love the composition.. the kid in the front makes it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 09:01:26 AM
Great use of natural framing. I wish the image were a little balanced tonally, but the muted colors work well too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 08:42:52 AM
nice framed

This is wonderful. The composition is spot on, and the little boy in the front is so perfect. Excellent job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 06:27:29 AM
excellent idea to use the window as the frame for this image
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 12:48:00 AM
You have a lovely heritage. Angkor Wat is the most spectacular man made structure that I have seen. I hope to be back there again this year. Thank you for sharing this image it has brought back fond memories.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 10:38:26 PM
I like the elements that you have framed here for this capture. I am guessing that you were shooting through a window, thus leaving the subjects a bit flat. I would have added a curves adjustment to give the subjects some much needed contrast.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 08:03:12 PM
I know this place and I like how you've treated it. Doorway border, child, leading lines, background structures. Well done!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 06:36:55 PM
would have loved the child to be lit
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 05:54:10 PM
A great shot. I'm finding myself drawn around to what seem to be sharpening halos, though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 05:44:54 PM
I like this, and I think the child adds an element of interest that would otherwise not be there. However, the building in the back seems a bit flat.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 02:15:39 PM
great natural frame
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 11:54:12 AM
Nice pic. Almost looks like I'm looking through a door of time.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 08:30:34 AM
Awww. You have a little photo friend! hahah. Nice detail and story. The colors are very natural looking. Good one!

Table for two? Walk this way please.
03/11/2009 09:22:31 PM
i like the natural frame, but i find the colors are bit drab, i like the child and the composition of the image though
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 06:18:30 PM
Oh wow, i love this. The little kid is precious. I love how it appears that we are looking into a completely different world.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 05:27:15 PM
Lovely shot from the inside out. The child is a deal-sealer. Very nice touch.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 03:50:59 PM
What a beautiful shot. I've had the pleasure of visiting and must say it was easily the most exciting place I have visited. I'd love to go back.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 03:08:00 PM
I like the framing and the inquisitive kid
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 12:44:32 PM
Wonderful image. That i can not make out the details on the boy seems to add to it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 11:11:02 AM
Guessing Cambodia? Great use of the doorway to frame the shot. And the child at the door really adds a sense of feeling to the photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 09:19:26 AM
Love how composed w/ the child just outside the door. Wish could see his face better.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 08:31:21 AM
i wish we could see a little of his face
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 07:37:33 AM
I love the little guide at the bottom left. Oh, I know he's probably not actually a guide, but I like to pretend he is and that in his young years he has a huge knowledge that he needs to share with all who are willing to listen.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 03:17:00 AM
I love the boy in the corner.

The boy just makes this shot.

03/10/2009 10:57:37 PM
Nice framing. I think the processing dulls the central subject a bit but the child's silhouette is very strong.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Excellent framing.
