    Thanks for the comments!

    >Faustina: Buddists believe that when you spin the wheel (always in a clockwise rotation!), the imprinted mantra (Om Mani Padme Hum) will be spread throughout the universe. Also, one rotation of the wheel is equal to actually reading the mantra out loud. In Tibet, you often see "water-driven" prayer wheels. The wheel is placed in a small mountain river so that the water flowing down, will turn the wheel and spread the prayers. Convenient! :-)

    Like the vintage mood in this one. Curious about the camera you used.

    Good street photo, but I'm not sure about the vintage tone, it's a bit too greenish.

    Hi Kris, the boy is simply adorable in his trying to stretch to reach the wheels. :) i do find the green shade a little disturbing. And i might want to crop out the unrelated people in the distance and in the process, crop out the overexposed sky as well (what did i say about my allergy :p). Your subject is excellent, so isolating him might be a good choice. :)

    Wonderful scenery you captured here! One of those rare 'got-to-shoot' moments. Lovely colors and DOF, maybe just a litlle extra gamma in the exposure would have made it a bit more 'in depth'.

    Wonderfully poignant. You're so good at capturing people in these types of moments. I still lack the confidence to take street shots of people, but you've got it going in spades.
