Le Puriste.

Timphu - West Bhutan.

La plupart des arcs utilisés aujourd’hui dans les compétitions sont de facture moderne, mais certains, fidèles à la tradition, utilisent encore flèches et arc en bambou.
Cet archer respecte la tradition… excepté pour les chaussures ! Il porte le « go », le vêtement masculin national obligatoire pour la compétition. Derrière lui on aperçoit partiellement une cible.

Most of the bows used today in competitions are modern ones, but some, faithful to tradition, still use arrows and bamboo bow.
This archer respects tradition… except for shoes! He wears the “go”, the national men’s clothing required for competition. Behind him we see the top of a target.

Funny....you mention the shoes. Everywhere nowadays. . . . and smartphones. Anyhow, a fine capture of intense concentration.

An excellent portrait. I wonder how well the traditional bow does compared to new ones. I like the simplicity of the old bow.

Great portrait of this archer. I like his expression and also the traditional bow. "V"

Great image, Daniel! My first thought was the shoes don't go with the scene.
Then I read what you posted below the image.

An exceptional photo of this archer intensely concentrating on the task at hand. You handled this high contrast light admirably.

I like the look of concentration you've captured here. The shoes are indeed a contrast to the rest of the scene. V.

Admirable position de cet archer regardant le trajet de sa flèche, je pense. Très belle composition, et en fond ces rubans colorés. V
