I like the series. To my eye the shadows (on buildings and trees) were opened up too much, leading to lack of contrast in those areas.

Three thoughts.

Angkor Wat at Dawn, its been done to death.

You need to study Monet.

Thanks for the feedback.  The bunch of you picked up exactly what I was seeing what I could get away with here for shadow detail.

Tom,
I don't understand the points that I need to study Monet and that Angkor Wat has been done before?  Are you saying I shouldn't post these pictures?
