The Golden Heart of the Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama)

We are but too Serious Actors on a Stage...Life and Death are meaningless because all is transitions.

The actor existed before he entered from stage left and at the end of his role, exiting stage right, he will continue to exist, but not at all in the form that he appeared on on stage...everything is transitions and while we love to strut and bluff and chew the scenery with our actorly talents and we are so full of our self-important importance...yet it is only a brief role, a brief time on stage...and with a tolfing of our working man's hat, there is that time we must take our leave.

Best Wishes, Traveller

I prefer this one because I like the way it uses sparse highlights to hint at the shape of the subject. Agree with CJ about the composition and negative space.

Thank you Carole and Mary Anne...because of you're encouragement, I thought I'd give another image from this series a go....but I think that this is the most emotive....whatever that means!

Best Wishes, Traveller

Very effective use of the lighting to create an interesting low key image Trav! I like the composition with the negative space, and your narrative is most interesting too. CJ

I knew it had to be yours, Trav. And as usual, much to think about. Thank you for all that you bring to these challenges.
