Hi Arif,

My feelings go up and down with this picture. I do love the composition, even if it is a little bit artifical. I do love the motive at all, but I would love to see the young monk a little bit more highlighted apart from the background.

I took a look at the other pictures of your trip to Myanmar. Very nice. Especially the two pictures on the lake with the boats and the fisherman. Great.

Best,
Pete

I think it’s an excellent capture… especially like the expression on the young monk’s face. I think Pete’s comment is valid… but a matter of personal taste. I’d like it better with a bit of a vignette but, again, that’s personal. Nice work.

Thank you Pete for the comment. In hindsight, I would have taken it from a distance but I was thinking of “two institutions” with one in ruins. Thank you also for taking a look at my Myanmar gallery. I still have a lot to process so please come back and take a look a few months later. Thank you again!

Thank you David, I will play with the vignetting a bit. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
