A group of monks taking a break from prayers to have tea.I met them in the Jokhang temple in Lhasa, the most important sanctuary of Tibetan Buddhism.

Hi Holmertz!
Five o'clock! Good scene. Nice POV and capture. Original document. Good work.
Cheers!

Hej Gert,
A very interesting picture! However, my first impression was that the dark upper part was too large so I wanted to try a cropping to reduce this seemingly uninteresting part. I tried my usual "Shadow/Highlight..." and discovered that the dark background concealed some new details that I could not see (at least on my screen). So I made a WS without cropping...

Hej Gert
Good quality, for a scanned image. Composition framed with the monks from both sids looks complete.
I've checked on two monitors(note: not calibrated) and on both the shadows looked fine. I must admit that workshop version looks bit bleak on my display(well, I should rather write it to Gunnar).
I wonder what the tea there is served with? Do you know?
Regards
Joanna
