A Sunset To Remember

Phnom Bakheng, Cambodia

Angkor has one of the most beautiful spots in Cambodia to witness this scene. This shot was taken at Phnom Bakheng,one of the most beautiful spots at Angkor for sunset shots. We weren't that lucky in that sense that the weather wasn't of best condition and by the time we reached there the entire place was almost filled with tourists. Good spots were already `booked', even then if you have thought you got a reasonably good spot, somebody would stand right in front of you, blocking the view. I moved a bit around the place. I wasn't too excited as the sky was over cast with haze and cloudy. I moved down where there were fewer people and tried to capture a good composition of the sun. I found one, more or less, stood there with my camera and waited for the perfect moment to take the shot. I like this shot for the woman's silhouette and her posture holding the camera made it perfect.
