A trip to Cambodia

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

In early December I spent three beautiful weeks in Cambodia and I did a reportage.
Great country, lovely people. :wink:

Thanks Chet,
you 'll get great time, they are three beautiful countries.

So many things to see and to do.
Temples are good but always crowded of tourists.
After a wile you'll get enough so try to spend time with people.
They are (locals) awesome and very friendly, especially in the country side.

I went to Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Battambang, Prasat Preah, Sen Monorom.

Will be easy to take great pics because the beauty is all around, any shoot will be perfect and full of soul.

Enjoy

that really sucks to hear - I had a feeling that might be the case. Are there any times when it's not so busy?

I just had a look at your flickr site - many more wonderful photos on there from your trip. Looks like you had a ball, although some of the stuff you saw I imagine would bring a tear to your eyes.

Yep,
I've been lucky...I'd say patient :lol:
Sometimes it has been impossible not just to shoot but even to visit some places!!!!!
Best time is lunch time...but it could be too hot and the light too harsh.
However June is the "Rain Season" so around 1400hrs might rain, giving to you a good opportunity to get a suggestive sky and "clear up and select" the touristic pilgrimage.

A lot of tears....but it is part of life, it "IS" the life.
The world is not just fragrances and roses....That's what I like to catch.

I love the first shot - beautifully framed & timed.

The horizon police will jump on you for #2 :lol:. There's some excellent shots in the series, well done
So join in the chorus, and sing it one and all!
