one of your best images, Kal. the addition of colour here is the key.. it brings a different vision because adds a lot to the dynamic cycle of life and death. so many metaphors and so well represented! v.

very nice image ... the DOF works very well

Great shot, I like the perspective. The colours are what make this shot so appealing to me, vibrant life in a graveyard.

Excellent.

impressive alignment of the graves (almost inhuman in their mechanical order)... and effective presence of the monks. (I agree with Phil and Ana for the colour)

You prove that color is your medium as well as b&w here, Kal. As Ana points out, it is essential to this image, the color of life vs. the monochromatic nature of eternity.

This is what I imagine when thinking about China. Very typical, very well done.

This is a wonderful image, for the composition and for the symbolism. Bravo Kal. Lucie

Ana Carloto O'Shea		16-Apr-2006 20:18
Perfect focus Kal!! You work a lot in b&w, which is something I truly love, but this time I think you've made the right choice for the colour... it really brings out an extra touch of beauty to the composition, not so much for the monks' vests, but mostly for that deep green of the shrubs which I found really fascinating... they look almost like velvet.

Adal is sooo right, this is super.

If only the path to serenity was as this silver sword .Like a piercing gauntlet wrought strong through the generations.Powerful and moving! ~V!~
