Beuatiful light Helen was this created in Post production? Anway its till very effective.
12 Feb 2007 8:40am
@Francis: No post production at all. I was madly snapping photos of the monks in their line, when I slowed down, took a deep breath and told myself to "LOOK". There, down the line was a ray of light through the trees, shining on this monk. SNAP!
Manuela Photography from Hainburg (near Frankfurt/Main), Germany

Helen - this is a wonderful image! Excellent tones and I like the way you brought out the main subject! Fantastic job!!!! Could you tell me how you put the great border/matting around your image???
12 Feb 2007 2:17pm
@Jerry: Thanks. The border is done in Corel PaintShop Pro/Image/Pictureframe. I like it as I can choose the colour from the image itself with the colour picker. I do the fonts in PhotoShop afterwards.

This is the realisation of exquisite timing and being in the right place at the right time. Kudos. : )

@Sash: Thanks Sash. Yeah one can get lucky, but you need to recognise it at the time. Photography tends to be a hobby of missed opportunities.

Very nicely done and a good example of what can be found when we slow down. I know I have missed good shots because I got in too much of a hurry. Nicely composed.
