Awesome pictures mate, I am off to Thailand for 6 months in October and I cannot wait!

A few (#1 and 3 esp) look over-saturated, and I'm pretty sure the white-balance on those two is wrong as well (do you shoot in RAW? Or use "AWB"?).

Composition-wise, 5 is very good, 6 I quite like but would like to have seen a little more of the branches 'framing' in the top-right, 1 and 4 would have benefitted from a 'lower' vantage-point IMHO (1 especially...).

8 is pretty decent too, but (other than 5) 9 is the stand-out shot for me - love the atmosphere in the photo, and (for me) I think you've got the composition right too...

I think the temple one is wicked. Has it been tinkered with at all?

Thanks for the comments guys. Most useful and appreciated. Good idea about the lower vantage point. I shall remember that.

Was using AWB but those first few I was playing with a circular polariser hence the colours differ. Esp #3 I think is too blue but nice if you saw it on its own.

The only other processing I have done to them was boost the "shadows" or contrast using Picassa. I think this makes the colour saturation seem increased, though I like the intense look. The temple one came out pretty well with this approach I thought.

Overall I am quite happy with them esp for my 18-55 kit lens.
