Seen at a temple in Tokyo. I genuinly did not see the no pictures sign.

Lovely Hans, devotion always carries a story. IMO its worth a crop but I don't think it matters it wouldn't detract from the story and subject either way TFS

I did think of that. Pulling it in a bit from the top left but decided it was ok as it was. Don't have to follow the thirds rule to slavishly

[Isac]

Good on you HansE. Lovely photo of something we don't see every day. I'd remove the light strips above the mans head though, very distracting. Other than that, a lovely photo.

Rules are made to be broken.
The negative space gives a sense of quiet and helps focus on your subject's demeanor.
I am with Isac, that light sabre above the head could be cloned out.

[HansE]

Agreed. It will appear in my annual photo book without the sliver of light.
