Traditional Meditation, a photo from Yangon, South

Photographer's Note

Fullmoon day at Shwedagon Pagoda. Like many Buddhists, the monks and nuns came to Shwedagon to meditate before the Pagoda. I first saw the younger nun offering the candle light to the Buddha and I took a few photos of her. And then followed her to meet the two together sitting down and praying and meditating. There was a few movement in the photo due to shutter speed and the camera was handheld.

No crop, add a bit of yellow, contract and sharpen.

PS: Please position this photo on your fullscreen, then back away from your computer about 6-7ft and look at again. Hope you will see the difference.

It is a good photo with good composition Way. The quality can be improved by adding a little bit more contrast.

Good shot of this scene of religious importance. The golden colour dominating the scene adds a mystic atmosphere to the image. Unfortunately it lacks of sharpness.
But well done anyway.
