Sepia tone version, 3 windows - monks (Best View Larger).

This is a sepia tone version (Completely different image) of the

colored version submitted earlier last week. Which is better?

Alec, I really like the sepia rendition, although I like the expression of the young monk on the far right's expression as seen in the colour version better. Either way, both versions work well.

Marvellous light and tone in this one, beautiful composition!

Thank you Amar, Gabi, it means a lot to me.

Excellent work in sepia, I like it, Alec!

Beautiful composition and tones

Alec, both versions work well because the composition is so good, but my favorite is the colored one ;-))

amazing composition..beautifully seen my friend.

Beautiful composition dear Alec...

Hi, Alec. I like both of them also, but I think I like the colored one better. It is more dynamic, has better contrast(new vs. old, light vs. dark, youth vs. antiquity, etc.) and conveys the idea of life and energy a little better.

Really wonderful shot, dear Alec!

Alec, great job here..beautiful vision, not an ordinary day scene... and wonderful natural poses..great composition ofcourse, great subject...I can go on.. regards, Sunil. 6/6

Wow! Thanks to share your lovely picture with all of us. This is marvellously executed, Alec! 10/10

Alec, my friend, this is well seen, composed so well that it looks like National Geographic moment in Alec's style... :) , I like the subject really very much, I cannot imagine the place in my mind, I am sure it was amazing...great lighting too Alec...all of it well captured...regards, Rajeev.

Thanks guys appreciate your comments and visit. Rajeev, if you went there you might have missed this place. Nothing fanciful really, it's a very old wooden and zinc roof structure built on stilts. This is the 2nd level as the ground is quite distracting and I omitted it. Here's an exterior shot.

An amazing shot, Alec, perfectly exposed and timeless. One of your best, I think.

Alec, I love this shot! Very interesting and the sepia works well. Your cropping was a good choice as I think showing more of the building would detract from the figures within.

Perfect !!! Carmel

Stunning image perfectly composed and captured!7/7 Best regards
