This is the famous Ta Phram Temple in the Angkor Wat complex in Cambodia. The first time I here was 1996, and I hired four dancers to pose for me among the 15th century ruins. Twenty five years ago, there were few visitors and it was easy to take beautiful images without a flood of tourists interfering. Fast forward to the present (notwithstanding the Covid lockdown), and there are thousands of visitors daily. Unfortunately, the Cambodian government built platforms in front of the most famous banyan trees for people to take selfies. I spent a lot of time meticulously cloning out the offensive wooden platforms. With the sky replacement feature in Photoshop, I replaced the white sky with some gray clouds. My settings were 1/200, f/8, and 800 ISO.
