    Yoyo,
    This place looks like a rather gloomy location to pray as it is presented.
    I am not sure if the bright area at the left (arround the bench) involve artificial lighting and/or dodging but either way, I really like how it shines. The textured trees looks especially massive. They adds to the mood of the scene. The reflection of the person on the wet ground is a nice touch as well. Actually, I wish that the reflection was even stronger but that's possibly out of your control.

    Hi Seb,
    The shot was taken with availble light. You are right about the reflection. I also wish it were a bit stronger.

    Re: No Hero in Her Sky

    Had to think a bit about this. What looks like an interesting ancient shrine looses some impact for me by the central positioning of the modern looking tourist/person.I appreciate you may have had little control over that at the moment.
    The spread of the leaves on the foreground, the dangling ropes and those nice memorial stones on the left make for a great composition but the person praying and her position just throw it a bit for me.

    I have a total lack of respect for anything connected with society, except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper, and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer. Brendan Behan

    Hi Tom, Thanks a lot for the candid comments. I guess another possiblity is the lady kneeing at the centre.
