This photo of statues was taken at the Ubud Monkey Forest from the main courtyard overlooking a wooden walkway. To get here, navigate to the Ubud Monkey Forest
After paying your entrance fee at the main gate, follow the path into the forest. After about a 5 minute walk, you will reach a temple enclosed by four walls. Keep walking, and you should see these sculptures on your right.
To frame your shot, have your model continue walking down the stairs and towards the boardwalk in the forest below you. We positioned the camera with the statues filling up the right foreground of the photo.
