    he had a captive audience... they look kind of... respectfully curious......

    this IS a nice photo.
    And no, i'm not going to research the background to see whether the photo is questionable...
    I did that with one and found it was a 'load of bull'... ;)

    this one, is a pleasure.

    Thank you op, I'm sure the lighting is natural and not done on purpose but I find that strange yellow-green- brown tone kinda makes me think of illness.

    I thought a similar thing, seeing as I studied photography I got that notion of death and suckness from the tones used alone. The monk seems so calm and focused, but also compassionate in his action. Nice find OP

    Everyone is dressed in black except the young lady, the person behind her in red and the monk. It's beautiful

    @federica -- I don't know if it will put your suspicious mind at rest or not, but here is the source of the photo.

    No, i wasn't suspicious at all... if anything, i wish i wasn't usually such a cynic... it doesn't always make for an open, receptive and accepting frame of mind....
    It's a good photo, and i don't need to know anything more about it....

    It speaks for itself..

    The photograph is extraordinary; it's not the sort of thing I see everyday, but who would question such a sight?

    Collective silence seems to be the most appropriate response, even from a distance.

    Thanks for sharing it.
