The panning in this picture is simply stunning along with the layering of the picture. I love how that stupa is focused on in the middle ground while in the background the gray clashes so well with the colorful foreground. Simply stunning. Being in the presence of that must simply be amazing.

Beautiful, your work is absolutely amazing, some of the best I've seen, seriously!
I want to go to Tibet, but apparently the Chinese don't let you through unless you're with a tour company, is that true?

Can't get enough of this photo. Absolutely love the motion and colours of the flags, against that dark moody sky.

I love how parts are stand-still and in sharp focus, while the waving flags create such an awesome and contrasting effect.
