တစ္ႏွစ္ျပည့္ အထူးရွယ္ ဒီပို႔စ္ေလးအတြက္ ေက်းဇူးပါ၊ ကၽြန္ေတာ္က ပုဂံကို ၂၀၀၃၊ ႏို၀င္ဘာလက ေနာက္ဆံုးေရာက္ခဲ႔တာ အခုဆို (၆)ႏွစ္ေတာင္ၾကာခဲ႔ၿပီ၊ အကို႔ ဓါတ္ပံုမ်ားကို ၾကည့္႐ွဴ ခံစားေနပါတယ္ ၊ ပုဂံအလြမ္းေျပေပါ႔၊ ခင္မင္စြာျဖင္႔…

Nice warm color tones. Nice retouch and I like the fourth one but better put the whole horse’s legs at the foreground. Because I felt one is missing.

@ Linn >> Yes, second shot has some motion in it, bro…

@ ေမာင္ေမာင္ >> ပုဂံ က သြားၿပီးရင္း ထပ္သြားခ်င္ပဲဗ်။ တစ္ေခါက္နဲ႔ တစ္ေခါက္ မတူတဲ႔ ရသေလးေတြ ေပးတတ္တယ္။

@ Myo Han Htun >> Thanks for the comment, bro. I’ll be careful next time…

Good idea from Ko J

Incredible!
Like all photos. Never know the history before. Thank you.

မိုက္တယ္ဗ်ဳိ႕…

Hello bro:
အကို႔ ဓါတ္ပံုက အရမ္းသဘာ၀ က်တယ္ဗ်… အစ္ကို ဒီထက္မက ေအာင္ျမင္ပါေစလို႔ ေတာင္းဆုျပဳလွ်က္…

Hey bro… i have been busy too. but i got to take time to visit this site which i always tremendously enjoy the wonderful photography…

@ Moe Lwin >> Thanks for ur visit and comment…

@ Naw Naw >> Thanks a lot. The background referred from a BAGAN history book published in 1979.

@ ညီခ >> ေက်းဇူး ဗ်ိဳ႕။

@ Ko Thant Zin >> ညီေလး ေရ…။ အညာေဒသ နဲ႔ လိုက္ဖက္မယ္႔ အပူပိုင္းေဒသ ကာလာေလး သံုးထားၾကၫ္႔တာ ပါ။ ေက်းဇူးဗ်ာ…။

@ M Mimi >> Thanks for giving time to visit and comment, sis…

at a 1st glance, i seriously fall in luv with the dry tone that can perfectly portray the sense of A Nyar… i can tell that dry tone plays the most prominent feature to make the pics unique… thz again for the brief background, explaining about those guardian spirits of the gate… for the pics, i luv the first 3 ones… the very 1st one, the perfect pic in my eyes for this topic, makes me feel like i’m standing right in front of the grand gate… the dry color & the cluster of gray cloud from the corner depict nature the scorching cloudy day in A Nyar… like always, i luv the shot of moving subject in #2… for #3, i wanna salute Ko J for his stunning idea & u for ur great wide angle shot… i’ve only seen the pics of Tharaba Gate that were shot from the front… the combination of different angle & wide lens gives the extraordinary art… ;D… oh btw, i’m really sorry for being late to give a comment… like i said, i wanna give a comment only when i have time to look at the pics in detail & get the feelings from them… of course i’ve seen those pics for weeks… but i juz had time to scan them roughly that i didn’t notice most of the critical subjects of the pics like the appearance of the sky from #1… WELL DONE AGAIN MY BRO!!! no exaggerating… this topic is the one i adore most among ur Bagan topics since Tharaba Gate is my fav thing in Bagan besides Dhammayangyi… CHEERS!!! ;D

@ Pon Gyi >> Thanks a lot for your long comment. Your comments have become a very prominent custom on my blog. Believe me or not. There are couples of my friends who came to my blog for 2nd time just to see your comment. I seriously mean it.
Talking about this post and the pics, thanks goes to Ko J for his shooting spot selection and Ko Htoon Lin Soe (Rain Stealer) for introducing me about this DRY TONE. For me, THE GRAND ANANDA still stands on the top of my BAGAN posts. I am glad that you love this post and good luck for your exams… Drawing near to go back Ygn huh?

အရမ္းလွတဲ႔ ပုံေလးေတြကို ၾကည့္ရွဳ ခံစားသြားပါတယ္ဗ်ာ… ေက်းဇူး အရမ္းတင္ပါတယ္… ေနာက္လည္း တင္ေပးပါဦးေနာ္…

@ လမ္းမဲ႔ >> လာလည္တာ ေက်းဇူးဗ်ာ။ ဟုတ္ကဲ႔ ကၽြန္ေတာ္ ထပ္တင္ဦးမွာပါ။

လာလည္ခဲ့ပါတယ္ ပံုေတြက ခံစားလို႔ ေကာင္းပါတယ္။ စိတ္ကို ေပါ့သြားတယ္ဗ်ာ။

@ PhyoThu >> Thanks for the visit and comment. I am glad that you like my shots…

Bagan is my all time favorite spot. All your photos show it’s richness in culture and history… marvelous bro, keep up the good work. Cheeers!!!
P.S: thanks for the brief background history as well… really appreciated.

@ Gina Khine >> Thanks for your kind visit and comment. I have been really busy that I could not even update my blog regularly. My apology, sis…

So kool. like the color tones. R U in Singapore?

@ Eward >> Thanks for the visit and comment. Yes, I am now in Singapore…

First of all Congrats!!! And i love these pictures! they are amazing. I think we are gonna go take pictures in Bagan on the first week for December for the wedding shots. May be you can suggest us really nice views! I am thinking about hot air balloon, what do u think?

@ Cuteangel77 >> Thanks a lot. Balloons on Bagan is a MUST, sis. Since you can afford to pay for it, it would be a totally new thingy for pre-wedding photography…

Very nice bro, happy anniversary bro, good luck all the time…

@ PaukSi >> Thanks for your wishes and comment…

Shame that I haven’t been to Pagan, your pictures took me there… thanks for inspiration.
Keep it up!

@ Julie Nyunt >> Oh, you should go there once. It’s an amazing landmark of Burma…

ေက်းဇူးတင္ပါတယ္။ ကိုရဲလင္းဦး ေနေကာင္းပါေစ။

@ Soe Soe San >> My name is not Ye Linn Oo. It’s Ye Lwin Oo. Anyway, thanks for the visit.

အေပၚက… ပံုေတြ ရုိက္ခ်က္… အရမ္းေကာင္းပါတယ္… ကၽြန္ေတာ္လည္း ဓါတ္ပုံရိုက္တာ ၀ါသနာပါတယ္… ဒါေပမယ့္ ကင္မရာအေၾကာင္း နားမလည္ဘူးဗ်…

လွတယ္။ ဒီလို ကာလာေလး နဲ႔ ဒီပံုေလး ေတြမွာ (ဒီလုိ ႐ွဳခင္းမ်ိဳး) မိုမို႔ပံု လွလွေလးေတြနဲ႔ ရိုက္ခ်င္တယ္။ :P

@ San Ko Oo >> ခုလို အားေပးတာ ေက်းဇူးဗ်ာ။ ကၽြန္ေတာ္လဲ မေတာက္တေခါက္ ရယ္ပါ။ ႐ိုက္ရင္းနဲ႔ေတာ႔ ပိုပို သိလာတာပါပဲ။

@ မိုမို >> ဒီလို ေနရာမ်ိဳးက လူအလွပံု PORTRAIT ႐ိုက္လို႔ သိပ္မေကာင္းဘူးဗ်။ :P အားေပးတာ ေက်းဇူးပါ။

color ေတြလဲမိုက္တယ္ ရိုက္ခ်က္ေတြလဲ ေကာင္းတယ္။ Myat wai လဲ ရိုက္တတ္ခ်င္ပါတယ္။

@ Myat Wai >> Thanks for your comment and you should learn Photography if u r really keen in…
