Amazing out of time potrait... I am amazed by the saturation of this shot! It is interesting to see the curtain somehow out of proportion compared to the priest.... Yes b4 I forget.. what a lovely light as well.. TFS Swiatek, I envy you for the shots from these less known countries... Bala

Hi Swiatek.
Again an interesting shot.
Light and composition are good, and the man there looks splendid.
Is a nice way, and also interesting, of learn about other countries.

Carlos.

He reminds me one of the three kings of the Christmas crib!
He is so impressing! This is such a portrait that I wish to see more, to understand more, although the man is a sculpture bvy himself
Bravo, very good work!!

Czesc Swiatek,
bardzo ciekawe zdjecie, fajnie sie komponuje z ta czerwona kwiecista zaslona. To musi byc niesamowite miejsce.
Pozdrawiam,

the light is very beautiful, and the muted colours work well. is there a greenish tinge on the man? i wonder...great shot.
