Pure Concentration... Photo

Photographer’s Note

...in a small room beside the Mahamuni Buddha in Mandalay, one of the three most important religious sites in Myanmar. I think there have been about 80 degrees or something like this.. ;-) The monk was praying and he didn´t noticed me the whole time, but because it was very dark in the room, for me it was not that easy to make a picture, hopefully you will enjoy..

Hello Henry,
Un unearthy almost surrealistic view, surprising by its well choosen composition, the colours i nfading tones of red, and the sharpness to show the uter concentration of the monk i nthe foreground. The dark conditions have led to a remarkable photo.
Regards,
Paul

Hi Henry and welcome to TE.

And... what great photo. This is the kind of photo where you don't need say why or why not you like it.

Regards.

Hallo Henry,

tolles Foto, das ich wohl auch schon mal in der Fotocommunity gesehen habe ! Weiß genau, wo es entstanden ist. Erstaunlich wie tolerant die Leute gegenüber Fotografen sind. Stelle dir das Ganze mal in einer deutschen Kirche vor....
Werde im Oktober zum vierten Mal nach Burma reisen und freue mich schon sehr darauf !

Schöne Grüße aus Kiel Roland
