The Shrine of Offering

This was found on Lamma Island, just a short ferry ride from Hong Kong. I wanted to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city for a while, and this quiet little island had some very quaint little shrines like this.

From the thumbnail I thought it was a big red jukebox :-)

Great textures on the side walls. Top notch work as usual.

That, my friend, is now one of my all time favorites from you. Just fantastic! I love the reds. While I see this is on Lamma Island, the first thing I thought when I saw the image was "Tibetan Monastary." I love the mood.

i have awed at all of your work and your HDR tutorial..

Thrilled to see you of all people react to one my shots dude.. i am very thankfull for your help in my groath of understanding the world of hdr more!!! (in wich i am learning day by day!)

yet i struggle with the part where you layer the 0 EV without losing dynamic range.. so my hdrs tend to be a little grainy at the moment.

picture wise.. i ttotally agree.. next best thing of being there.. very nice treatment yet again..
