The composition, clarity of detail and colour are really top drawer on this. I’m glad you have chosen to retain the natural muted palette too which only adds to the whole effect. Well done.

A great shot! Well done.

Several of my photos are available for purchase in larger format at Shutterpoint, and some are also available in high quality framed prints at http://djholmes.imagekind.com/
It leaves me wondering what the thoughts are? Agree with what Phil has to say about it.

Well, you and Phil and Darryl say "tomato" and I say "tomahto" -- I think a little more color saturation works well on this one. Look at the leaves on the geraniums(?) at the bottom -- the color is certainly "muted" as Phil says, but is it "natural"?

Many images on the web and many photos taken by numeric cams get sursatured colors, especially in the red. Why? Because it is pleasant to the eyes...
I set my D70 on 'normal' colors saturation. On the original capture, the colors are really more soft than on my upload...
Thanks guys for your feedback and comments :-)

well there are plenty of reference sources for ladakh monks on the net and all of them are in this style of colour palette apart from ones that have been clearly manipulated to have travel brochure skies and blood red robes – so yes, given the setting i’d say it was perfectly natural.

"pleasant to the eyes" . . . . hmmm . . . . that IS a GOOD thing, isn't it? And especially at a website whose purpose is to share wallpaper? Or did Caedes become a photojournalism site when I wasn't looking? (Pierre, I hope you don't take offense at my comments -- I'm not going to pretend that my photographic knowledge and skills are anywhere near your level.)

No offense, Greg. But I want to develop my idea:
When you are taking photos, your brain get a photographic memory of the light and colors. If you can work on your images immediately after your trip, you can retrieve the exact light and colors that you've seen. That's what I tried to do.
I'm sure that the red of the monk clothes is like it is on this capture.
Absolutely not like this or this.
If your cam can do it, please try to take photos in RAW format, you'll see the difference with the jpg adjustments...

Thanks for the insight, Pierre. This is an interesting and enlightening discussion. And we are grateful to you for trying let us see exactly what YOU saw, when you were THERE (in a place few of us will ever be able to see in person).

Well Greg I must respectfully disagree with you when you stated that Caedes was merely a Wallpaper website.
It has become much more to many people. It has become an outlet for a true need of expression and a community of support and nurturing.
The photographs that are represented are not here solely to make "pretty" wallpapers, but to provide an opportunity for sharing thoughts and emotions through a visual art; a way to be heard in a world that seldom listens or tries to understand.
Here if you take the time to think and observe you can gain insight into your fellow man's being and into your own.

Find your own answers. Nobody else has them.
this is a wonderful portrait photograph Pierre! The boy looks lost in thought! ....and I totally agree with what Kirby says above - I applaud him for expressing so well what Caedes is to a lot of people - I too get aggitated when I read someone saying - it is just a Wallpaper site - that is too narrowminded! ....oops sorry got carried away there, and the real purpose here is to tell you what I think of your photograph . :) ...it is in my favourites Pierre! you are very good at capturing portraits - this one is exceptional!

Great capture you've caught the mood perfectly.. I like the colours and composition, its natural, as for the "faded" geraniums does that really matter? the photo is about the boy not the flowers.. which I think is very well done..
would like to know what is going through his mind though, he looks deep in thought... ;) ... Nice work Pierre

Interesting discussion. I like the intensity of the colors. It just seems right and the boy is naturally framed by the two black panels and caught in an interesting, thought provoking pose. Really nice shot!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

I like the lad’s thoughtful expression, was he happy about you taking the photo? I appreciate the colours too.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

Yes Robert, they were very kind with the tourists and photographers. Maybe because the tourists are actually very few...
You know, buddhism is really cool. Entering a monastery, we read "Please, take off your shoes my dear friends".
Thanks for your nice comments :-)
