Hij is weer mooi Hans! De situering van deze kleurrijke jonge monniken komt mooi overeen met de structuur van de muur erachter, waardoor een prachtige compo ontstaat!
Groetjes uit Schouwen,

Good morning Hansie

This capture is really lovely, the colours lend themselves well and thier smiles are just as bright as thier robes.

Nice white frame sets off the image perfectly, superb shot and interesting notes.

TFS kind regards Smurfie

Nou... regels of niet als ik een hut wil bouwen die groter is dan 3 x 1.75 dan doet ik dat hoor! HA!

haahhahahah
In a strange way these rules seem very... silly.

Love the colorful image and the smiles are priceless indeed! Great capture Hans.

Cheers,

Hello Hans,
a perfect shot of these two young monks.
Pin sharp, very good clarity and crisp edges.
The B+W BG works really well.
Well done,

Very engaging smiles and could lighten up my day. Their orange saffron robes of these young novice monks are certainly striking. Well framed. Danilo

Ahh, there is the color! SUPERB Hans! Love their smiles, and they are truly dedicated to living the spiritual life, which is SO much better than living a "religious" life. Spirituality is about the Spirit....religion is about laws and rules. Something I cannot live up to! Great shot!

Hi Hans,

Yeah, nice! I prefer this colourful one over the B/W! Hahaha, great note. Especially like the "(This only applies if there are fewer than four supporters.)". No idea how to make sense out of that one :-).
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Hans,
In the 13 rules there is nothing stated about the brand of your camera.... So a 14th rule has to be added, I think.
A splendid photo of the young boys !!

Prachtig van compositie, scherptediepte ( het gebrek aan ), belichting, ...

Doordat je de achtergrond héél goed naar de achtergrond hebt verwezen, staan de kereltjes als het ware voor een grijze achtergrond met mooie vertikale doortekening.
Nu, 3 dingen die ik zou " verbeteren "
- recht boven het hoofd van de rechtse kerel
is er een " spatje " grijs.
( ik geloof niet in " de vurige tongen " en die gasten zeker niet ... )
- Heel je BG is infeite B/W behalve dat net stukje groen. Dat zou ik dan ook grijs maken.
- uiterst links, tegen de kant heb je daar een mooi doortekende grijs-partij met daarin een donkere vlek. Die had haar laatste licht bij mij gevangen. ;-)

Bedankt voor de stralende kopjes Hans :
dat tovert ook een glimlach op mijn gezicht.
:-)

Groetjes
Jan

Hello Hans !

Colorful post and smiles. One thing is sure , I was not a good canditate as a novice or monk (^_^).

Sweet post my friend. Keep thos shots and useful notes coming.

Speaking of a dream , I imagine my jolly good TL friends ( you and Richard ) dressed like that at Angkor Wat (*_^). Just kidding , without any offense to anybody.
Cheers!

Cute little guys, but one looks like he's been in a fight with his swollen eyes :( And at that age they know they WANT to be a monk!!
It's a good portrait Hans - Janice

I like their facial expressions. Very sharp image, and the colors are wonderful. Framing is creative. However, I find that the shadows on their faces are the problem. Not that much but it may be a little bit of distraction. You may want to brighten their faces up a little bit more.

Hi Hans,
Lovely portrait of the two youngsters, great lighting and great timing on your behalf, you captured their smiles well.
I wonder if they really know or appreciate what is ahead of them.
My kind regards,
Pete.
PS; I look forward to having a Steinlager (or a milk) with you when you're down under.

Hoi Hans,
Wat een super foto. Je DOF is echt perfect. Zelfs de randen van de twee jongens zijn perfect scherp. De helderheid van deze foto is echt top en de oranje kleur springt erg mooi naar voren. Een erg strakke foto.
Groeten,
Niek

Heerlijk Hans die gulle lach van deze 2 jonge monniken - Is het niet zo dat ze maar een bepaalde periode van hun leven toetreden - zoiets als dienstplicht maar dan heeeeel anders?
Hoe dan ook - mooie portret foto!

Hi Hans, this is a very good portrait of the 2 monks, and their dress makes the image so colourful! And they have such a nice and genuine smile.

I like the diagonal from one head to the other.
Nice blured bg.

Take care, Yan :)

ps: and many thx for the kind words in : "Christmas Lights". I am very pleased that you like it.

Hi Hans, Your note adds an insight not known previously when seeing these monks in various countries. The vivid colours and good clarity along with the slightly mischivous expressions you have captured well. TFS. Murray.

PS are you considering becoming a monk? I just went off the idea.

Hi Hans,

excellent portrait with very well working lateral light. Perhaps a bit too dark faces, byt this might be due to my monitor (sometimes I see the photo too dark I guess...). Fantastic contrast with bright, blurred and desaturated bg. tfs

Hoi Hans,

Kwam deze tegen en ik moet eerlijk bekennen...hij is geweldig! Kleuren, compositie, onscherpe en monotoon gekleurde achtergrond n natuurlijk de fantastische uitdrukking op de gezichten van deze jonge leerlingen...allemaal af. Prachtplaat!

Groeten,

Edwin
