Arun by

This is my friend Arun – which in Khmer means ‘Sun’. The light was coming through a tree and falling nicely on his face.

This was taken at a Buddhist monastery in rural Cambodia. Arun has no parents, and the Buddhist monks are raising him.

The image lends itself particularly well to black & white. The exposure was very tricky!

    Yes this is just beautiful Anthony. I like the lights in his eyes and the soft light on his face. You obviously had a really good rapport with him to get an expression like that.
