Hello Caleb,
A fine scene from buddhist life. Sharp and good colour combination of the pilgrim with the prayer mills.
Regards,

Good depiction of this pilgrim. I'm always taken by how deeply many Tibetans practice their religion.The prayer wheels add a great deal of color to this devotional scene

Hi Caleb,
Good 'action shot', but the colours on the prayer wheels are the real winners here.

Superb shot, Caleb. The act of penitence and devotion — you have captured the private moment of this person, set against the backdrop of the prayer wheels. First class photojournalism, Caleb.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Caleb,
I thought I know what it means to be devoted and dedicated, until I went to Tibet about 10 years ago, I realized I knew nothing about dedication. The Tibetans are the meaning of devotion to their religion. this one absolutely depict the idea very well. thanks

An emotional moment too. I lost my heart to Tibet when I was there, great country, great people!
