[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Shana Nga Cham, the dance of the black hats, here performed at the annual tsechu in Thimphu by a group of men in exquisite colourful robes and (wait for it...) funky black hats. They are dancing like whirlwinds while beating small handheld drums with funny looking sticks, thereby clearing the festival grounds of malevolent spirits and simultaneously resounding the victory of religion over its enemies.

Great closeup and fantastic shot.
Vivid colours and nice note.

Hejsan Johan,
Good close-up and great colours. I like the expression of his face.
You just have to jump in to it and buy yourself that digital camera. I will say that digital has come a long way today and I think you can get a really good one for about 3000 - 4000 kr. Hav en god dag...
