Little Monk, a photo from Sikkim, Northeast

Photographer's Note

A young buddhist novice inside a monastery in Gangtok,Sikkim.
Initially he was very shy to talk and was feeling uneasy seeing my camera so I have to wait a little and after sometime he became ignorant of my presence and was totally lost in his thoughts......CLICK I got him :)

Ranka Monastery | Gangtok,Sikkim

namaskar Saptak
Those in Ladakh are not shy at all but on the contrary quite eager to look at the camera and see the result on the screen !
Here a very good BG with the colorful and sparkling little lights
Well done
Best regards
Patrick

This is a nice sensitive portrait with good use of DoF. I might have lked the subject to occupy more of the frame. Landscape format might have worked.
