I like this composition a lot, although I think it could use a little more contrast, the white on the left side is a little distracting. Other than that great capture!

Great shot...i love the expression!!

Very nice work Rado!.....very interesting person!......simple but good composition!....Maybe I would try to increase a little the dark zones to see if it looks better.

@danheacock: thanks for your critique! Personally I like the white on the left side, but I understand your concern that it's distracting a little bit. I think the white makes the photograph more interesting.

@Madanapale: I agree about the dark zones. I changed levels in Photoshop, so now you see the updated version. The expression of his face is clearer now. Thanks for your constructive input!

Nice work Rado. I agree with Carlos. The composition is simple and effective. The image is a bit on the light side. I would experiment with level adjustments and selective colors adjustments. The monk has a lot of character and you captured it well.

@monjo: Thanks. I think if you refresh the page, you'll see the darker version.

Definitely an improvement in this edited version, nice job!
