    Yellow Hat Monks

    The yellow hat that these Tibetan monks are wearing indicate that they belong to the Gelug school.

    I shot this image at the Spituk Monastery, in Ladakh, India during the Gustor Festival.

    Beautifully finished (processed). The background melts away and the vibrancy of the colours of the subjects is wonderful. A masterful lesson.

    Manfred,
    Nicely done, and good job on taming the background. My only nit is the pink jacket on the young girl in the background to our right. Even though the colour of the original has been toned down considerably, the jacket's style seems to be anachronistic to the rest of the garb in the shot.
