Lighting The Candles

Description

Taken in Bagan, Myanmar. Two Monks praying by lighting the candles in front of the buddha statue. I used flash in the background as there were ancient paintings on the wall.

Wonderful photo, Min. If it wasn't fascinating because of the ritual that is portrayed, it would still be fascinating because of the painting on the wall. And you've done a spectacular job with the lighting.
Congratulations. This will be at leastl la finalist, I predict.
