Thanks so much for the kind words. Just FYI, it was taken with natural light as I never use flash. This is a direct scan from a slide, so the boy is slightly overexposed which I will correct in the printing, if I have a print made. As far the a chorten, I believe they are Tibetan in origin. This chorten is called the King's Chorten and is located in Thimphu, Bhutan. Thanks again for the interest!

It doesn't make much difference, as the image is still remarkable. A very good effort. I had no idea what a "chorten" was, so I had to Google it to find out. The photograph created enough interest that I wanted to know. I suppose this could be a Nepalese shot, but "chorten" is supposed to be a term used in Tibet. Perhaps Spurlock will amplify the details. >>
