Hi Vincent
Very nice flags + landscape integration. I like how the white colors of flags matches that of the clouds they're pointing at. But perhaps an inclusion of a praying person could enhance this by demonstrating the scale. But still a good documentary of their culture.
Cheers,

Hi Vincent,
I have not heard of prayer flags before until I saw Saybayasachi's and this photo. Well presented with good colors and DOF. Beautiful sky and clouds. TFS and best wishes. Danilo

Bonjour Vincent,
Encore une jolie compo à base de drapeaux de prière.
Dans ta photo, j'aime bien la transition qu'ils semblent former entre le sol très coloré et le ciel bleu.
Bien vu, bonne soirée,
JB.

Great picture Vincent. A silent place full of movement beneath a beautiful sky. You have captured it well. Good composition, colours and sharp. I hope the flags bring you (and us now we see them thanks to you) happiness and prosperity in 2007, Ingrid

Bonsoir, Vincent,
cette composition a une grande force graphique, grâce à ces drapeaux de prière entourés de végétation, et avec un paysage de montagnes et le ciel bleu comme fond.
Bien faite, j'aime, c'est un beau travail.
Amicalement,
Josep

A very nice scene Vincent, those prayer flags seem to be a part of the landscape there, and a very welcome one. I think though that that the image is slightly over-exposed and over-saturated. A little levels work and saturation adjustment improves it greatly. I have not done a WS because I know you'll understand without that.

Salut Vincent
Les images du Buthan ne sont pas si courantes. Cela donne un incontestable intéret à cette composition très belle et &tonnante.

Hi Vincent,
A good bright shot with nice saturated colour. I like the way the trees are framing the flags. The vertical lines of the flags in the landscape make for an interesting shot.

Bonjour Vincent,
Les drapeaux de priere pointant vers le ciel sont superbes et se melangent bien dans le beau paysage. J aime bien aussi les nuages qui apportent une touche supplementaire a la compo.

Bien vu et Bonne Annee :)

Very good image with lots of interest value too. I like the way you composed the shot with the trees acting as a frame for the prayer flags. Excellent colours and sharpness.

Hello Vincent,
very well captured shot of a nice perspective. Nicely framed with the pine-tree's branches. The light is under control and the colours are nice and well saturated. Tfs and best wishes!

Hi Vincent!
A well composed photo with these flags framed by this nice landscape.Nice soft colors and a fantastic sky.Bhutan must be very nice for travels ,but I heared it`s very expensive.

C'est assez improbable comme vision. J'aimerais découvrir une telle chose de mes propres yeux, j'imagine cela magique et poétique. Le pov et la cadrage permettent de remettre cela en phase avec l'environnement et de suggérer la découverte au hasard d'une promande. Nickel.
Je te souhaite une très bonne nouvelle année, faite de lumières et de voyages.

These are unusual looking prayer flags, at least they are for me. They're quite different to those I've seen in Nepal and Ladakh, both their shape, and the lack of colour.
I like how you framed this little forest of prayer flags with the surrounding trees and foliage, and I like the intense (but not too intense) colours. The light also has a clarity to it that makes the whole image rather uplifting.
Good work.

Cheers,
Ben

Bonjour Vincent,
j'avais déjà une autre image des ces drapeaux dans mes favoris et j'ajoute tout de suite celle-ci.
La varietè de la végetation qui fait un cadre superbe aux sujet principal est vraiment jolie mais le top est le mouvement des drapeaux qu'on arrive presque à percevoir.
Bravo!
Alberto

Hello Vincent
Prayer flags have their own beauty in their simplicity. Against the deep blue sky with fluffy clouds, these flags stand out well

Hi Vincent - the flags are not as colorful as the ones I've seen in India or Nepal, but they are no less exotic, reminds me of a filmset from Conan the Barbarian, beautiful landscape and sky around.

Bonsoir Vincent,

Une très belle et intéressante photo. Il ne nous manque plus que le bruit du vent dans ces drapeaux de prière pour compléter ce magnifique paysage. Les couleurs et la lumière sont très bien gérées et ce ciel est superbe donnant de la profondeur à l'image.

Avec mes amitiés et un bon dimanche,

Hello Vincent,
si le Myanmar est le pays au millions de pagodes, le Bhoutan semble être celui des millions de drapeaux à prières.
Une photo étonnate baignant dans une belle lumière.
Note intéressante.

Astonishing, so many prayer flags and so different from the ones I saw in Nepal. Super composition but I would have to agree, it seems just a smidge over exposed but that might have more to do with the processing as I bet if you use the curves it would greatly enhance what is already a stunning photo
