Indeed. The Zen of photography :D

Very nice shot indeed. Lighting's soft and well managed, colours are suitably lifelike, and the background's non-distracting too.

Not sure whether I want a fraction more headroom though; I can't make up my mind whether I want the same amount of space above his head as behind it?

Is the gown supposed to be white; or is that pinkish colour representative?

Thanks for the feedback.  I wasn't sure about the top space.  There was a lot more and I just sort of hacked some off.  I'll try a version with more room up there.

BTW, he's a her.  And pink.  Nuns typically wear pink in Myanmar.  I could try making it a bit more pink.  I was paying more attention to skin tone.

No; I'd leave it as it is colour wise. I just wanted to make sure that pink was the colour I was supposed to be seeing there. Never having seen a nun wearing what, to my untrained eyes, looks very much like a standard monks robe. Over here if nuns wear a uniform, it's usually the old "habit and whimple" thing.

I tend to leave the same space above and behind a person if I can, as it usually feels more natural to me that way.

I'd gathered as much, before your post I didn't know they existed!
