Monastery boy - Minguin .. Burma

I was wandering through an old monastery outside Minguin in Burma, it was quite dark inside when I noticed in an even darker corner, a group of children, chanting with a monk. I took this shot knowing the technical quality would not be there, but he had such a look of anguish. The monks were looking after a number of children, boys and girls.

I agree with Phil Douglis - if technically perfect, we may not feel the anguish so well...

Why worry about quality issues when human values such as this speak more loudly than any technical virtues?
You are an artist, Ken, not a technician. Always keep that in mind. Expression comes first. Form follows.
