That is one gorgeous temple.
Excellent shot Tim. You don't know how many times I've tried to get a shot lie this and they all turned out noisy and unusable even with processing. I'm glad someone got this shot. The dragon scenes are always fantastic!

But MY GOD... This is so beautiful that it's literally bringing a tear to my eye.
