quite a piece of art! the light is wonderful here.. carving out a glowing silhouettes is what this shot is all about. the darkness brings in an air of sadness and content. great DOF again as always, and a POV which matches to none better.
Quality work.
TFS, Arnab

Whoa.Manuel

This one has this feel of myticism..spirituality and an uneasy calm about it...imean you were right behind and you had to follow..dont see any tourists in front..so it was only you..you done well to get this pov and light..

Like the way the monk in front has this halo of light around him and the blurr effect on the distant ones..

Real good one...well done mate :)

Cheers
Sayeed

that's great. the lightened up face-outline and shoulder against a backdrop of blurred paraders. it is a universal theme.

Hello Manuel,

Beautiful picture with the suggestion in the blur and in the profile of the firt man... Nice light, just maybe a little dark but however, I like it !

Best regards,
St閜hanie.

hi manuel,
most exciting work here - particularly a delicate line of light coating the arm and face of the last monk adds special "flavor" to this image...
fantastic work,

Hello Manuel
Often it is to better suggest that to show
In this photograph all is suggested and all is known as.

Fantastic Work

Excellent! The light sorrounding the monk, his smooth skin, the red bonus, the curve that leads the eye to the other end of the line, uncluttered green bg - every single thing is perfect. I'm adding it to my treasure chest with your permission.
Congrats.

great picture, very nice lighting and silhoutte
I like the shallow dof, but still can see the diagonal line of these monks

daddo (28748) 2007-11-26 14:51

Hi Manuel. Unusual and respectful shot of these gentle monks. The light delineating his face and shoulders is a wonderful touch, adding to the mood and spirit of this event. A beautiful response on your part. Regards. Klaudio.

Nice work :)

Very nice manny, the aura of light around the first monk and the wondeful bokeh, not too mention the colours

rbcy1974 (20758) 2007-11-27 3:44

Hello Manny

very nicely done

Hola Manuel.

Creative and very smart picture. I love the subject, the light and its composition.
Wonderful work.

Regards.

pascal-harbi (1005) 2007-12-03 13:18

Hi Manuel!
This is a great piece of photography, the way the light shows the "contour" of the monk in the foreground, and the background, showing enough, but not too much!
Greetings

Hi Manny,

Its been a while since I last commented on your photo. I have chosen this one as it is really good. I am very curious what lens are you using? I saw your EXIF data and the focal length is 44mm. Are you shooting this picture close to the back of the monk?

Thanks for sharing.

Adam

Stunning! a true work of art, do you have any tutorials?

Hi

I like the way you capture this image.

An stunning photo like most of your shots. The light from the right is just marvelous. It gives the feeling that you;re one of the monks walking in line.

Beautiful perspective from an excellent POV. Perfect focus. Regards, Yvonne

Hi Manuel,
Brilliant depth of field and flawless technique. The colour and deep light work well to lead the eyes. The composition is first class.

Hello,

A WOW composition. The feel is so real and calm. I really liked the light on the face and shoulders of the last monk. I guess you were right there at the right time. Great work.
Thanks and Keep sharing.
