Shanghai Morning Prayer Photo

Photographer’s Note

On the same morning as my Tai Chi shots I found a secluded spot in the park that had a group going around in the same circle meditating or praying. It was very quiet with no talking and the only thing I wanted to do is catch the sunrise on their solemn faces. Thanks for everyone's previous comments on the Tai Chi shots, they were greatly appreciated.

Beautifully captured! This is in stark contrast to the cacophony of businessmen in frenzy in the boomtowns of China.

Composition wise it works for me and works very well. You did good with the light on the faces and the blur of the feet adds motion to the shot as well. This is a great capture of everyday life in Shanghai. Great stuff!

The composition is good and the faces light up very well. A lot of atmosphere in this picture.

Wonderful DOF in this photo of a quiet and reflective moment, something that only early mornings provide in a crowded city such as Shanghai. Well done.
