Winning Photo

This photo has so many things right that we really like it. The atmosphere really comes across and the boy in the front with the book is so strong a personality that the background simply stays the background.

The photo was taken in a monastery in Yangon, Myanmar last year using my Leica M9 and 35mm Summilux lens. Lightroom and Silver Efex pro2 were used in post processing. Many thanks to the judges for the Mark of Excellence - I am truly delighted! My congratulations to the winner Damon Winter and fellow Mark of Excellence recipients! Brendan Williams. Ireland.
