Temple Shot

Not really urban life, but didn't know where else to post it. One of the first shots taken with the new 400D.

Welcome Dave to Urban forum. Your shot fits well here.

About the picture: I would prefer to see the background more out of focus (and darker). Now it is a bit too busy, and the smoke is not popping up as much as I could do.

Olli,

Unfortunately light was failing and I had the aperture almost wide open (f5.6) and the ISO at 1600 and it's the only lens I have at the moment. Fortunately, this little shrine is two minutes from where I live so I'm hoping to get back in better light. Thanks for the comment.
