Okay I apologize for the poor technical quality of this photo. But I hope that you will like the story behind this picture.

This photo is from Kee Monastery in Spiti India at an altitude of 3800 meters during the chilling winters.
My photos on TE of this fabulous monastery.
Kee from 600 meters above
Kee in winters
Agricultural Fields at 3900 meters

These monks in the monastery were trying to set the direction of the Satellite dish right, so what they did was that they got the TV along with the antenna and manouvered the dish and other connections of TV to find the combinations for the best reception. It was kind of funny to see so many monks who had nothing much to do during their days besides praying (it was winters) trying to figure technicalities of the TV and dish antenna

Hi Sarju,
I took the liberty of doing a workshop on this. I hope you like the result :)

I decreased the gamma first, because there was a lot of white in the photo. Then I adjusted the contrast and brightness. Then I cropped the top shadow and a bit from the left. Then I did USM.
Cheers!
