Hi Christoph! I've been comparing this version with the one you posted for critique, and what a difference! Not only a question of editing but another picture altogether. This one is better in all respects, and effortless tells the story. I love the light and all the fine color nuances. It would be presumtuous of me to critizise a great picture like this, but here's a thought. The fact that the monk looks at the window gives me the impression that he's imprisoned in a literal sense, so I wonder if it wouldn't be more subtle if he looked down to the ground, that is, looking inward in a meditative mood, concentrating, blessed with the light falling on his forehead. Just a thought so don't get me wrong: i really admire this photo!
Christoph Hessel  Hey Björn, many thnaks for Your thoughtful inspiration, I appreciate so much. I preferred the look up to emphasize his vision of freedom as a inner one. But i have to confess, that I do like Your idea too as strong. Many thanks Björn!

This is a plan to setup the curators ,you are doing the background,and he is doing the foreground,a good plan I guess.
Neither an ordinary background wall ,nor an ordinary foreground model.
