Creative Notes

I crept quietly to the door during this morning prayer (puja) in Leh, Ladakh. After snapping a couple photographs of the hundreds of monks, both old and young, I replaced my shoes and went seeking breakfast.

Technical Notes

I was not allowed to use a flash while photographing this ceremony so most of the images turned out less than sharp. I still liked this one because of the composition and the characters it included.
