whom bells ring?, a photo from Buriatia, East Siberia

Photographer's Note

"Ivolginsky Datsan, located in East Siberia near Lake Baikal, is the most important Buddhist monastery in Russia. It is also home to a phenomenon that continues to intrigue scientists and attract believers by the thousands — the preserved body of the Khambo Lama, who died in 1927 and is still sitting upright in the lotus position..."

Hi Xenia,
интересное фото, живенькое такое. Композиция, опять-таки, мне нравицца. Глубина резкости нормальная для адекватного восприятия столь ярких красок. Приятно посмотреть после тяжелого рябоче-крестьянского дня :)
А про Иволгинский дацан побольше написали бы... людЯм, наверно, интересно почитать про него?
по какому случаю туда ездили? на Хамбо Ламу Итигэлова посмотреть?
А по инглишу название из Хэмингуэя взяли? если да, то оригинальное название звучит иначе..
всего наилучшего!
Елена

Hello Kseniya!
Interesting take. Excellent detail, colours and sharpness in the foreground. It must be some kind of luck charm, or so? And, of course, the background couldn't have been better. Although I can't fully understand where or what it is.
Welcome on TE!

HI Kseniya
Not common to see a budhist monastery scene from Russia !
You have isolated this detail well using the narrow DoF resulting from the large aperture, good focus and nice image
Have a nice day JY
