Thanks for your comment Emily. #5052869Robert B. Hinkley November 16, 2007
This is one of the best pictures I have ever seen at betterphoto. Very well done. #5082048Min Htike Aung November 16, 2007
Thanks for the comment Rtogog. I took the photo from a pagoda so that I can get high angle or the panaroma view and I used 17-40mm lens so that I got a wide scenery. Depending on the tourists seasons there are balloons over bagan but it is quite expensive , just a half an hour ride for 250 US Dollar :P #5082199Nikki McDonald November 25, 2007
I'm late to congratulate you on this stunning grand prize winner. It is so very inspirational and beautiful. #5121459Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
