hello Shubi

The wise and enlightened one :) I was wondering what it could be from the thumbnail because it was dark. They say his face is always with a smile.

On the technical side, IMO the darkness can be brightened a little by some improvement in light setup. Using 2-3 lights placed one at the side and one behind can give you surprising results, as long as you experiment with the best arrangement.

But I can see you are in the mood for intellectual wisdom, not technical :)

tfs, bill

Salam Shubhi
The face of Buddha is always tranquilizing for me. One I've been in China, I've took several shots of different Buddha statues that I think they are not appropriate for represent in Treklens.
And about this shot, you have nice colors but I like much more enhanced lighting, brightness and contrast... needs optimizing.
Sincerely....Alireza!

Dramatic and impressive light effects to convey a sense of mystical meaning:) I think I would have cropped a bit from the left side for decentering the composition with a more deliberate result. Otherwise, this is a strong image that invites attention. I like the mood and warmth of the light quality. Well done!

Hi Shubhi,
I like this one very much. He is the one that I consider my teacher and the guid in this life. Technically, I wish the face was more properly centered.
