A novice monk in Phetchaburi, Thailand, on a shopping trip with an older monk. I cropped, coloured, re-cropped and re-coloured this shot but couldn't decide what I wanted to do with it. I just felt it was too cluttered. The solution came from Jan (JQ), who weaved her own special magic. Thanks Jan, I'd never have thought of this, I love what you've done with it!

A fantastic character image, Nigel. The cropping , the B&W and the colour make for a wonderful picture.This seems to be a picture of youthful boredom personified. One of your best, Nigel.

If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly.

This treatment has turned the image into something extra-special.
I think he has a very pensive expression and it is captured so well.
He looks so young.
A very pleasing people picture - perfectly portrayed pensiveness :)

The question is not what you look at, but what you see ~ Marcel Proust
A boy with all his dreams and fantasies yet to be realized while living in a black and white world. Very nice commentary and well done photography, Nigel.

I love pictures that are B&W, except for one subject. This is an excellent one. Hats off to the both of you.

Really nice work, Nigel and Jan! The spot color here is very effective in bringing to the fore what you originally saw among the crowded tables.

Much of the beauty in life is found in people who care.
Looks to me like he's caught between the real world and monkdom. If there is such a word. Anyway he see how black and white it will be if he continues his journey and he's having trouble leaving those colored feelings behind. I liked Lyn's complimentary comments concerning confusing childhood choices. My tongue still hurts.

Very nice work, both of you! Love the expression you've captured and the color against the B+W is wonderful.

Wow! I love this! His expression makes you wonder what he is thinking..wonderfully captured..and i really like the way he's been left in colour as he is the focus of the viewers attention..well done :-)

This is really great! You and Jan did a great job. Focus on the young monk, by keeping him in colour, makes the photo something extra special. Very well done!

A very stimulating image you created Nigel. Looks like the boy is in deep thought or as someone else mentioned caught in boredom. Both you & Jan did an amazing job bringing out the main subject (boy) in this capture. Congrat's to both of you ~ I am proudly putting it in my faves.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away ~ George Carlin
im glad you liked the manip! i liked the shot, you did the hard work here! i loved that bright orange silk hes wearing, im glad the manip worked to show that and to isolate him from his busy background, alone in his thoughts while the world carries on around him.

The photo had to be taken and reworked that way : it symply had to. The colours explode out of the grey ones. The pose is awesome. Hat's off nigel.

Cheap thrills are always expensive.
Faved this one when I first joined and I don't think I ever told you that. Such a very touching picture. Such a prefect capture!

Oh the feelings in this photo! The workspace being so totally filled with the work at hand, then the tired look on his face.A small space. I love the contrast of the gray and the colour. The very touching look on his face says it all. A most dramatic and sensitive photo Nigel. Verena
