A fresh, youthful looking face in such an old tradition.

If this had been in mono Phil it would have been hard to put a date on it. But then I just noticed the sign in the backgound and it brings the reality that even the most ancient and holy places on this earth are not exempt from technology!
NIce to see some smiling faces. Good pic as usual chum

I like this. A picture really does paint a thousand words!

fascinating...glad you choose these 2 gents to be in the foreground..The bold yellow and sharp black..like how the hanging gold crucifix ties the black robe to the yellow robe (yellow is my most favorite color). this stands out also because it's not the norm to see a religious procession, exhibiting, natural smiles. I think your flash sure did a good job of exposure and bringing out the vibrancy of the colors
