really beautiful photo work!
Thank you ~ finally have some time to tend to photography and blog.
Hope you are doing well.

I like the pic. How did you get the background to be B/W?
In Photoshop, I created a B/W over – layer. Then, erased parts of this layer to reveal the underlying color just over the monks.
Kind of tedious; I could see it in my mind and had to get it.

Thank you
