Bongeunsa Temple, Seoul. Lanterns in preparation for Buddha's Birthday (5 May). Quite a tough shot to expose.. I experimented with different apertures and shutter speeds and this seemed to have turned out the best. A fast shutter speed made the lanterns look too dark. Just a tad overexposed.. I know some of you will point that out but I wanted the lanterns to "pop" out.
Also, I couldn't decide whether to use the litted lanterns or the day time shot.. oh well, here goes.. Its been well over a year since my last submission. Its high time I submit something.
Thanks in advance for all your comments!

That's a lot of...well, not really sure what it is. This is more appreciated when looking from afar because there isn't really anything specific to focus on. - 7
IMO, this is too busy. I would have cropped differently, not sure how tho. My eyes really can't focus on any one area and I keep being drawn back to those poles. Love the colors. What is this anyway?
