12th Place In Full Crimson Glory

Post-Processing:
Cropped, adjusted exposure and contrast, reduced red saturation a little, added minor vignette and sharpening.

Extra Info:
I simply adore this majestic temple! Shot on a pitch black night so the first few frames had the temple against a dark sky. I wasn't satisfied with the results so I had to wait a half-hour for clouds to pass by and give the temple some good contrast against its background.

This challenge reminded me just how hard it is to take a photo of a red subject under artificial lighting. I think the temple's grandeur will be much appreciated when seen 'in the flesh' as the reds in this photo is not giving it justice. But I thought I'd still enter the challenge and share it with all of you. =)

The photo came out very well given the difficult exposure info. That's a good camera you have. I would have been tempted to clone out the two star trails as they look a bit like scratches. Deserves to do very well. GL.
