This was one of the first things we saw on our first day exploring all the Angkor temples. A bridge over a moat leading to a massive wooden door, and these guys were perched on either side of the bridge, all the way along. A bit broken and degraded these days, but can you imagine what it must of looked like back in its glory days?
For this photo I had a 2.8 lens on, hence the depth of field, which I really like in this image, and in post I added a bit of creamtone filter to it, which I think works well for the image.

Wez loves taking landscape and travel photographs, and sharing these as inspiration to travel. He has a goal to visit every Hard Rock Cafe in the world and have a shot in each of them. He can also eat nearly anything, and will try most things at least once.
