Salut Vincent,
Interesting contrast between the religious elements that reflect tradition and the westernized outfit, esp. the baseball cap. Very good composition and shadow/highlight detail. Regards,

Bonne compo avec ce tibétain dans une belle lumière le faisant bien se détacher sur le fond plus sombre. Sympa son expression...un beau rouge qui pète!

bonjour Vincent
ce sont toujours des moments captivants de voir ces hommes prier avec une telle ferveur,et d'une façon si inhabituelle pour nous! Tu as joliment capté cet instant avec cet homme dans la lumière alors que le reste de la photo est dans l'ombre!Tu as attendu le bon moment,afin qu'il soit devant les moulins à prières mais sans les cacher,et enfin,tu as choisi le bon personnage avec une veste rouge rappelant le rideau rouge du temple!
Amicalement.

Hi Vincent,
A good one, love how you captured this man with praying wheel and the way you placed it in the frame a bit to the right. Gives a more detail on the wheels in the back and his facial expression is wonderful captured.
He helds the wheel strong around his hand...like this one a lot.
Regards, Henk

It is nice to see a devotee at this wonderful stupa who is not a monk. The fact that he is holding a prayer wheel with also prayer wheels in the background is very appropriate. You got him to stand in the perfect place, facing into the frame and plenty of space to see behind him. Well done

Bonsoir Vincent,
C'est toujours étonnant pour nous occidentaux que l'on puisse prier avec un moulin. Mais ces rites en valent bien d'autres. Excellent portrait de ce pélerin, Bonne image.
Passe une bonne soirée.

Bonjour Vincent,

Cet homme semble tenir fermement son moulin à prières. Belle lumière qui le recouvre et le fait bien ressortir de l'arrière plan sans soleil. Les couleurs naturelles sont très agréables. Une image et un commentaire bien intéressante, merci Vincent.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et une bonne fin de journée,

Hello Vincent,

Again a nice daily life shot tibetan pilgrim circumbulating around the Great Stupa of Bodnath.
The man look and give his yes word to the photographer, maybe a good moment for alone the man to a sharp image, focus and the background make blur.
Thanks for sharing.

Best regards,
John.

Une belle prise. J'aime beaucoup tes portraits "en situation", qui ne limite pas à un visage, mais ouvrent vers le contexte, la vie de la personne.
Bref, bien vu, j'aime ça,

Salut Vincent,
a high quality portrait of him showing some pilgrim action. You gave him a good position in the capture and the exposure is also well done. I like the shadowed and enlighted parts of his face both in good quality.
