I loved visiting Boudhanath in Kathmandu, Nepal. I remembered spending almost the whole day there taking in the sights and smell of the whole temple area. The jostling and bustling people coming and going paying their respects. This photo was taken in one of the small altars within Boudhanath. I waited until the lady rand the bell before taking the shot.

Award Winner: Photo of the Day | October 19
Award Score: 65 (Value 11.5, Clarity 12, Composition 17, Style 12.5, Skill 12)
Photo of the Day Award Category: Black & White Photography
Photograph Location: Kathmandu, Nepal

Photographer: Shirren Lim (Jakarta, Indonesia) Registered
Born in Penang Island, Malaysia, in 1970, Shirren would find herself moving cities over the course of her life. She is now based in Jakarta, Indonesia. Shirren took up photography in 2009, as she thought it would be an interesting habit, later she discovered it as her true passion. Shirren loves portraitures best. To her, the expressions people wear are so beautiful, so telling, so uncovered in their sincerity. With her photo-taking, she tries and does justice to capture humanity in its many forms. Shirren’s work has been described as intense and earthy with her simple composition cutting to the heart of the subject matter. As a child, she had flipped through many of her father’s National Geographic magazines, but it was Steve McCurry’s 1984 “Afghan Girl” that she recall two decades later. That is what she wants to do with her life. She believes, someday, she can able to capture that one moment that could change the world. Her work has appeared in several web and printed magazines.
