Angkor Wat - Reflections

[martook]

This is a picture from my trip around the world. It was taken in the afternoon with my P&S Minolta camera, handheld. A pretty usual shot in this location, with the reflection of the temple, but the man on the left hand side is what really makes this picture in my opinion.
I suppose you must have been there to really understand, but the temple is just amazing! So not only is there reflections in the water, the man is sitting there, reflecting over one of mankinds most spectacular achievements.

Comments are always welcome!

Hi Martook,
Like the reflections and the lone figure looking on but the picture seems to lack something,
might be worth trying it in B/W.

Regards Peter.

Yeah, there are things missing... detail being one of them :)
I've been trying to enhance it in PS, but I just can't make it look any better than that. Although a bit more brightness did improve the photo a little, it's not enough to post it again. I did make a B/W version of it though, not sure it's any better.
When a picture means so much to you, it's kinda hard to look past that, and look at it like others would. To me, it really represents my feelings about the place, so I don't see the softness in the trees and so on. :)

I'll post a sunrise shot a bit later, I just can't decide which version of it I like the most :)

Thanks for looking and commenting!
