Hi,
Love the shot ! Can I ask 3 questions....What religion was this priest ? I have never seen such an offering.

Where was this shot, In the US or abroad ?

What is that on the right side above the fire extending to the outside of the photo ?

Beautiful night shot. I do alot of night shots myself.

  thank you Jenny. he is a hindu priest. This was shot in haridwar, uttakhand, india. The fire is used as aarti...a ritual to cleanse the hindu Gods. the heat of the fire is taken as blessings from the god by passing your hand over it very very quickly and taking it on your head. Someone was doing that only. That caused the motion blur on the right
