Master and Supplicant. . .

These colors are splendid; the composition masterful, and the use of depth of field--perfect to my eye.

Was this at Sera? The monk bathed in the light is a great focus, though it's a pity about the oof tourist in the background. If this is Sera, I can testify to how difficult it is to find a good shot here. The light is dappled through trees and has about an 8 stop range, and the whole place is very very busy. Well done!

The monks

were debating the dogmata at that time.This is a kind of study skill of monks among the temples of Tibet. Alway a monk stood and another one listen to him.The stood monk used many action to express his standpoint. It is a tradition last for thousand years at Tibet.This picture was taken at midafternoon that day. The monk bathed in the light was the listener. Every monks sat under the trees,he was the few one under the light. My English is not very well. I don't know exactly the word "Sera" means. Could you told me? Sorry.

It is Sera.

I suderly know the word "Sera" mean. It is Sera temple. Many trees and tourists are there exactly. It forced me to get more closer and closer to the monks. Mose pictures taken there are clutter.
