Witaj Farhat!

A well composed architectural shot with the verticals appropriately placed in the centre leaving the far right and far left diagonals to fall where they will. Good sharpness and the high key toned bg enhances the graphism. Excellent shadow detail & I like how one window has a red curtain whereas the rest are blue /white. Tfs!

Hello Farhat,
nice the view as the presentation of Rumtek Monastery with its architectural style to be a bit different from the ordinaries ones i know.I like the details, the painting with the sky to not enhance the beauty of it so much.

Regards,Danos

Hello Farhat
Not a spectacular architecture as we're used to expect of a monastery but nevertheless, the depiction shows the best details of a modern building adapted to contemporary realistic needs!
Cheers.

Hi Farhat,

Another eye opening look at a religious building that, for me, looks almost nothing of the sort!? I guess I need to broaden my scope, I'm afraid I may be too accustomed to the "traditional" styles I've come across in my limited travels. A very intriguing display of color, is it because of the light conditions, or does the finish of this monastery actually fade from pink to a light blue? Love that little burst of red curtain on the second level window for color effect. Detailed and sharp, thanks for sharing something new to my knowledge! Have a nice Friday.

All the best,

Jason

HI Farhat,

The tight frame is putting the monastery in evidence. The point of view is showing a double perspective of the architecture of the monastery. There seem to be a pinkish tint on the front wall of the monastery. Have a nice day.

Hi Farhat,

You're capturing well this monastery by a good composition and excellent tone, so it's imoressive to see the monastery with white/yellow/green color and many windows.

Kind regards,
mikio

Hi Farhad,
This one is nicely done! I like the POV and the fact that the whole building fits the frame.

Bonjour Farhat
Un bon angle de prise de vue met bien en valeur les volumes de ce monastère.Il est un peu dommage que le ciel soit si blanc.
Bonne journée
Amicalement

Hello Farhat,

This frame is a lot better than your previous picture.
Nice classic building with a clear oriental architecture
A pity of the white sky, maybe not the mistake of the photographer, but bad weather.
Excellent composition, nice presentation, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

ikeharel (112393) 2013-06-16 1:15

Humble look for monastery, farhat, but well collected it's nice outlines and fine blue/dark-blue windows frames.
Modern for a religious house, to my humble opinion.
Regards,
Ike

Hello Fabbs,
I've heard about the Karmapa of Rumtek, now it's the 17th Karmapa, a teenager boy
I remember a young boy with yellow clothes and very long hair seen in Phodong monastery, all people knee down in front of him
Excellent report and note about that holy place
Regards

ourania (51103) 2013-06-24 2:58

Hello Farhat,
an interesting and eye-catching building that seems to be located in a quiet place, even though the tight framing doesn't reveal a lot about the surroundings. I would never have though it was a monastery, its many windows don't convey seclusion. I like the framing, the angle of your capture and the excellent definition of its features and colours on a very moody day. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely week,
Ourania
