Buddhist Nun Photo

Photographer’s Note

This shot was taken at Bayon Temple. The nuns just like Monks do not formally work for living. Here, this nun lights up some incense for you along with some prayer in return for some donations. I hope you like this..

Very nice!
Altough the guy is almost centered, the column (maybe just a bit too much of it..) and that black space make it very well balanced. I do like all that black and how it makes his expression come out.

regards,

I like it Skye, but I can't say why.
Probably because of the large amount of black and white, with just a little colour. And I like her expression also.
I think it could possibly be rotated a bit anticlockwise, just so that the step at the bottom is level, but then the pillar may see to be out of level. Don't know? I do know from my own photos from here that the vertical lines are not always vertical.
