Photographer’s Note

Prayer wheels are called Mani wheels by the Tibetans. A prayer wheel is a wheel on a spindle, and on the wheel are written or encapsulated prayers or mantras. According to the Tibetan Buddhist belief, spinning such a wheel will have much the same effect as orally reciting the prayers.

One of the better lately, perspective compo in function of subject like it should be, a good crop to artistic value rose-blue-gray harmony in a soft tone setting to give a tender feeling (that's a personal choice but very appropriate here to enhance the subject), a soft gradiant light mannagment giving enough depht, a story telling scene, a value often repressed lately, a perfect edition on color/contrasts not burning quality away, the only thought on the side, a fine moment but besides religion, people are still living and often that is forgotten as if everybody is always at every moment praying all day, they don't eat anymore, they don't work anymore, they only pray or go to festivals ... if a society would have only a few aspects like poverty, religion ... in excess to show to the world, it becomes a bit boring, lucky India is far more richer then that, so I would say, keep up this quality on different aspects to enrich the total view on this country, your approach on this aspect is a perfect example to many, well done, congratulations.

A very good one with so interesting colour matching between the red of the wall and the clothes of the man. it is very delicate and very pleasnat. we can also feel the wieght of the years on the slowness of the motion. very well done.
