hey Victor, welcome to UF with this outstanding portraits of monks. this shot i can associate with much symbolism; it is in the nature of man to look up when in doubt and strengthen his belief- in a way it also shows devotion towards God, which way is associated in most of the monoteist religions, and nowadays it an almost instict to act that way. So, here, your idea of selection of non desaturation of the monk looking up gives much to the shot. all the best, v.
