Nice shot Sayeed. The monk's wonderful smile really makes it. I had a look at the original version and this is certainly a big improvement: composition is more effective, the colours are more saturated and the face is now in focus.

hello Sayeed,
compared to the original version this is so, so, SO much better, you've done wonders, friend :) the crop you've chosen is just right - it focuses on the face, but still include all the necessary elements to illustrate his life. love the colours, so rich, while remaining elegan. excellent work, my compliments!
best,
Kristine

I like this smile when I see it from miles away, Sayeed. I wish you have that smile too, it will bring you extra 5000 bonus points.

I find that you have cleverly framed this without showing his feet (why, he has no feet?) although I would very much like to see them, and find out what type of shoe-wear.

In particular, I like his trademark smile, very contagious. I wonder if he tells fortunes, if so, you will have big ones Sayeed. And he is no ordinary monk, he wears a modern zipper-shirt, in red/black, and his outer coat has silver/pearl buttons.

I like his cap. He smiles until his eyes is a line. Well done, Sayeed, but just bring back his feet, for me, it may bring me fortunes!

TFS, cheers

A proof of this: How come a postprocessing can give a photo its rebirth! From the ashes like a phoenix!
It is very nice of you to repost it along with its original version, now i am gaping with awe. The color palette is captivating, and the moment is really happy.

snunney (130967) 2007-12-28 3:18

Hello Sayeed,
A very good portrait of this man and his infectious smile. I like the lighting and the tight crop putting the appropriate emphasis on the man and his drum. Good colours and clarity.

     sadeik (3282) 2007-12-30 4:35

I see that all the modern world trappings are used, don't blame him its probably cold. A nice thermal jacket and woolly hat. I like his smile and they way you have composed the shot althought if you had taken the photo just a bit lower down it might have just given the photo that real extra wow factor.
I think it is because you are slightly higher than he was.

Hello Sayeed,
a really nice portrait you made here. And I like your explanations about Buddhism a lot. A picture becomes even more interesting when a good description of its content is given, like in this case.
My best wishes for a New Year to you,

Yes I know, it's an "old" photo. But I like "old" photos! ;)
What can I say? Well... with so many critiques for this photo already, I doubt I would be original. Quite often, I have a look at what others have said, but I feel lazy. So, sorry if I repeat what you know already.
Well... simple! I like it! Very simple, but yet, very effective. I especially love the colors in there. Good framing, sweet moment, the smiling monk and its instrument give a "feel-good" photo. Definitively an improvement over your previous version. But, there are a few "mistakes". Which are?
Well, the most obvious is a problem with the sharpening. Yes, it needed a sharpening, but your way to sharpen has left a slight white line around some contrasty parts. See especially his left side.
I would also get rid of the base of the column. And last, I would 'clean' the white spot on its clothing.
But hey, don't be bothered. If I am telling you all this, it is because I think your photo is good in the first place!
Claire

Hi Sayeed,
Thanks to your critique, I am able to see your gorgeous gallery. As I am a lazy (and busy, too)member:), I don't visit TE often.
This photo is very well composed and the colours are attractive. And the most important thing is it made me smile:)
