When i first saw this photo it was the color that grabed me and made me look at the larger image, then the expressions of the boys became clear. I particualy like the boy on the bottom right hand side as he is well in focus. This a graet shot. Cheers Robin

Very effective use of backllighting and DoF here, and a brilliant compo as usual.

Well framed also.

I like the expressions you have captured in those young kid's faces. They are so sincere. I like the red ring on the kid's head, that more meaning to simply color in the religious. I like the DOF to have the background blurred out to focus on the main characters.
Well done.
Have a nice trip.

Beautiful! I love the expressions on the children's faces. You can see the respect! The colors are beatiful although part of me thinks it is slightly too dark. It is such a nice photo that it doesn't really bother me that much. Very nice! JP

very soft light and a bit underexposed.
like it as the underexposure draws attention to the few light spots.

Wow, waht a fantastic image, Manny.
The saturation of colors, the backlight and the way it plays with their hairs, the expresions on the children faces, and the monk's face. I also like theway you included the small flowers in the FG (very sharp!). Excellent.
Have a pleasant trip.

Hi Manny! I like this tribute of yours. The boys' expression is very strong, and their respect for the monk is very evident. A very nice shot indeed. Once again, the colors and sharpness are very well done! rgds.

Hi Manuel

I think I would have preferred to have seen a higher dof used, but this is still very good. I like the backlighting on the monks head. Excellent lighting & pov. Well done!

Excellent composition with very fine, almost dark tones of well saturated warm colours, Manuel!
I wonder if the DOF could've been different so we had them all in focus...? Maybe not as I'm not familiar with techicalities of your Nikkor lens.
Bokeh is superb, makes a heavenly curtain so the scene looks like staged and maybe we would be deceived if it wasn't for that beautiful sunset light that the guys are backlit with.
Very tasty photo, my friend!

I like the note Manuel
But the expression on the three kids faces, there hands and the way the monk is sitting and talking to them is much stronger then the note
The kids look like they absorb every thing he is saying

Good shot

Very exciting use of light here, Manny! I also really enjoy the softness of the focus on the boys, which directs more attention to the adult. Lovely, lovely photo!

I like very much the quiet and timeless atmosphere in this picture. To make this shot perfect, in my opinion you had to well focusing the red t-shirt boy, increasing the deepth of field. Anyway a gret moment
