Hi Alexis. A very interesting picture. I took some pictures from the exact same location, I think.. A café on the 2nd floor overlooking the Jokhang kora.
But this is really interesting, in my opinion. A stark contrast with the Tibetan pilgrim and the policeman looking down upon him. One could read a lot of symbolism into this picture, but I think its also admirable that you let it speak for itself.

Regards,
Henrik.

Hallo Alexis!
A most impressive photo! Authority and faith! Your photo shows the status of the today's Tibetian nation very well ... unfortunately! What a tragedy
Greetings from Germany!

This is fantastic. A perfect capture, with many meanings. All the contrasts between the chinese government and the tibetan people. Really good.
I just suggest to adjust a bit the levels and contrast.
