The majority of the world lives on a level like this. Im glad im born in a more rich place. Nice photo.

Nicolas Marino Thank you math! Well, for spiritual people like him, it really doesn´t matter what they have, they really do not care about material stuff. They have something that us, in our rich world, we don´t have and that is seeing the true valuable things in life. I admire that :)

Oh dear Nic, I like him so much. It is a friendly room with food, drink and I don't know what else..He looks very serious I think. Smiling I say my meditation practice would probably receive the stick. (not good enough) :) Excellent picture...so glad you brought him back to us. Congrats to you...Phyllis

Nicolas Marino he is amazing isn´t he? I got the other one of him rejected but I m really happy this one made it! These lamas, as peaceful and lovely as they seem they actually are extremely strict when it comes to their practice and their teachings. I´d receive the stick as well and I´m a buddhist hahaha!! thanks a lot my dear !

Nice one Nic but for my taste the distortion is too much. Difficult with the 14-24 and sometimes the picture looks flat somehow due the distortion.

Nicolas Marino Thanks Rob. You are actually right about the distortion, I know you know how hard it is to deal with the 14-24 ;) however his shelves were actually not straight. similar to that. I will see if I can tweak it further. This one already has distortion correction.
