The Child Who Turns The Prayer Wheel

This is Samye Monastry in Tsedang, Tibet. A playful child playing

with the prayer wheels caught my eyes and very quickly i set up my

camera on a tripod to capture this shot. The lighting condition made

it necessary for a tripod to be used because of the slow shutter

speed that my Nikon F5 metrix metering was giving. the colour of the

child's attire that blend in well with the golden prayer wheel made

this oppurtunity shot not to be missed. A 20mm Nikon lens fixed at

f 22 with a shutter speed of 1/15 for the maximum depth of field

and a motion blurr of the hand of this native child and the

spinning wheel made my choice for this atmospheric capture.I hope

you like it and wish to hear your constructive comment. Thank you.

Nice shot

Great shot, good capture. I wonder if it might have more impact if you cropped to exclude everything above the red beam holding the wheels ?

Very nicely captured! Although the ceiling is very nicely decorated, I would consider cropping it out, since it takes away the attention of the main subject, being the child and the prayer wheel.
