Photographer’s Note
Tempaksiring Temple is a holy temple in Bali where locals come to bath in holy water, each fountain is approached as part of the ritual, this is one of a series of photographs I took on the day... for me it is such a peaceful moment as this man cleanses his soul...

Hello Andrew,
First a belated welcome to TE!
I love your shot. Not only for the moment you have captured, but also for the purity with which you did it. The DOF you have chosen is perfect, as is the sharpness. The light is excellent and works very well with the streams of water and the drops on the man's body.
Plus the composition is great, with the repeating streams of water and the relation of the man's arms to them, and the vertical format is well suited for it.
Compliments and greetings from Prague, Dasha

Hi Andrew, Very good composition. Well managed light and great sharpness. Contrast is great. This is only technical. However, this picture really shows purity in life. Thanks for sharing. -BR, Abhijit

Hello Andrew
A spectacular image. I like the POV and the sharpness. Just a great image they look very into their prayer.

Fantastic shot, loving your choice of depth of field. A great " in the moment" image. Nothing I would change about this image.
