Hi Vincent,
Fantastic composition .... the warm lighting and contrast is just perfect. The bridge creates a strong structure of lines while the monks gives the compo the needed human elements to make the photo perfect. Excellent work! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

I like the color of the sky a lot. It adds to the mood, created by the monks.
As if they are walking in the sky..

Bonsoir Vincent
une image douce et subtile. La lumière est très belle. Les moines apparaissent comme des silouhettes mais encore baignées de lumière.
Très beau

Beautifully composed, and almost perfect timing. Great use of color - the monks' robes against the setting sunlight. It really gives a sense of motion. I see the jagged pillars as the broken society that will be reconstructed, hopefully soon.

Bonjour Vincent
Ils sont beaux ces deux moines qui marchent, en route pour de meilleurs jours!! La lumière et l'arrière plan coloré sont du plus bel effet.
J'espère que la marche Pacifique des moines et de la population ne mettra pas leur jours en danger...et que ça se terminera bien, sans effusion de sang!

Salut Vincent,
Une vue de ce fameux pont, bien en phase avec l'actualité avec ces moines marchant d'un pas décidé, ne sachant sans doute pas encore que un an et demi plus tard ils seraient des dizaines de milliers a marcher, mais pour une cause exemplaire. Bel hommage a leur courage... Heureusement qu'ils sont en tête des protestations, sinon il y aurait déjà eu des milliers de morts... Bel angle et super couleurs

Salut Vincent,
On attend tes premiers posts au 40D, mais je vois que tu as rejoint le camp des posteurs en fonction de l'actualite, je ne connais ce pays que via TE mais ce que j'en ai vu est suffisant pour savoir que ces gens la meritent mieux, malheureusement les dernieres infos ne sont pas rassurantes. Sinon une tres belle image qui serait encore mieux si elle avait ete prise une fraction d'instant plus tot, avec un appareil dote d'un AF plus reactif par exemple ;-)
Bonne journee,

i just created a theme to gather all photos in support of the burmese people's urge towards freedom. Please join in! I added your photo in the theme. Hope you do not mind my doing so!
Eric

As for the photo, it brings up in my mind the idea of a contrast between the softness and gentleness inspired by the pinkish light and the two monks, and the harshness of those wooden pillars, that could epitomize the dictatorial regime that has been ruling the country for much too long now...

Salut Vincent,
J'avoue avoir découvert Myanmar grâce à TE, et à quelques contributeurs qui réussissent à décrire la situation de ce pays (celle d'avant les évènements récents), parmi lesquels tu es au 1er rang.
Du coup, je suis l'actu de ce pays, et en ce moment ce n'est effectivement pas la joie.
Merci donc pour ce soutien à cet endroit si particulier,
Bonne soirée,
JB.

Great shot Vince. Love the pastels and your closeup view of the monks on this bridge. Composition is excellent and your note is also excellent - a little disturbing but excellent. One can only hope for the best and that this time is different than the last...

Great work

Hola Vincent.
Excellent composition with a superb image, the presence of the monks on the wooden pier really add a lot to your shot. Nice soft colors of the sky and very good POV.
I have been following the news and hope the people of Myanmar will be free and peace will come back to this beautiful country. Good note.
Well done. TFS.
Best regards.

Myanmar, with views like this should be an impressive place.

Excellent picture, the typicall we have in mind when think about that places.

Well done!

Salut Vincent, je vois que toute la communauté TE se mobilise sur ce sujet birman, j'ai pas trop de chose à dire étant donné que je n'y connait strictement rien ... bon c'est clair que d'entendre le mot "junte au pouvoir" ça ne présage rien de bon et visiblement ils m'ont l'air assez imprévisibles, paranoiaques et irrationnels donc ça fait un peu flipper.
Ta photo est belle, tu as fait le choix de faire ressortir des détails sur les 2 moines, peut etre au détriment de l'arrière plan qui a un peu pixelisé.
C'est magnifique tout de même :)

Hello Vincent
Your timing is perfect with the monks in perfect position. A split second later & the monk on the right would have been behind the pole. The light is absolutely sublime. Well composed and well taken.

Nice photo and a nice addition to the theme. Although they are walking in the opposite direction, I can't help but notice the similarities to a shot I submitted a while back.

•  
• banyanman (7490)
• [2007-09-29 2:06]

A very timely post, Vincent, given the brutal crackdown that the military junta is imposing on the monks (and civilians) at the moment in Myanmar. I was tempted to add a comment about China's role in this, but won't because that might cause access to TrekEarth to be blocked in China, and I don't want to be responsible for causing problems for our Chinese TE contributors. All Internet access from Myanmar has now been cut off by the junta there, so it doesn't matter what you say about the brutal despots that are running the country and imposing so much suffering on its people.

As far as the image is concerned, I've seen similar on TE, but you've executed this one well both in terms of composition and the technical aspects.

Cheers . . . David

Hi Vincent,

This is a nice composition. Almost diagonal one! The monks look wonderful in the backdrop of the colourful sky.

This photo came at a time when the Burmese people and monks are fighting for their freedom. Very nice dedication towards their fight.

Hello Vincent! Very timely post with an excellent note and title. The image of course is excellent too! The low light seemed to accentuate the great shapes of the monk and bridge while producing a sublime pastel backdrop.

Well done!

Hi, Vincent
I'm sad as the rest of the world with the terrible events at Myanmar. I pray for peace there.
The light, subtle, soft, soothing is the differential here. Perfect compo and a nice POV.

Salut Vincent,

Great compo and light, giving it a very nice mood. The low POV makes it look like they are walking on the sky. What a contrast with the political and social situation of the country!

Let's hope that things get better, but I confess bitterly that I am not very confident. The so called "international community" seems to be even less interested in doing anything than it uses to. Asking the Chinese, another dictatorship of the worst kind, to help on the situation is nothing more than a bad tasted joke.

Amicalement, José.

Salut Vincent..
Ce ponton est marqué par le temps.. vu l'état des poteaux..
Mais il est traversé par de jeunes boudhistes.. Cela fait un beau contraste temporel..
La photo est douce avec le soleil qui vient éclairer leurs visages.. et le bois..
Bravo
