An attractive scene in Bali is gently caught with a decorous composition and subdued colour. The priest is very sharply captured in spite of using a slower shutter speed.
Best wishes, Hisashi

Hi Steve
A nice image, well thought out in muted colors and we have good focal of interest, human connection in his environment that creates special atmosphere and mood. Well chosen framing, perfectly placed at the third and still has ample space ahead. The temple structures on the left acts as a nice frame and his white robes provide a very good contrast. Depth of field is fine and also the exposure. A nice shot well executed. Congrats. Best rgds

There is no other place on earth to find situations like these. Such a beautiful capture. True Balinese traditional life. Wonderful composition of Balinese architecture and religious life.
A+
