[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
[Re-post: Thanks to Just-A-Guy's critique and my having learned that cropping a picture is not an unethical thing to do, I've cropped the original to get closer to the feeling of "in the middle of all the incense spirals", than the original was able to express.]

In a traditional temple, prayers are written on a piece of paper, placed inside a incense-spiral and hung up. As the incense burns, the prayer is carried towards the heavens.

Elle est belle cette composition, le cadrage est bien fait et les couleurs agreables... Bonne nettete...

Hi Ben, I very much like the zoomed in version better. I think you could even crop a little from the left hand side as well though because it makes the entier image just a little too blurry. The subject matter is quite interesting though. I like the spirals.

Hi Ben,

Yes, this is much better now. And the black frame is also a very good choice.
