This image was clicked by me during my recent Trek of Annapurna Base Camp, for which I had to go to Kathmandu, while my local sight seeing trip of Kathmandu city, I saw this Temple of god Kaal Bhairav, There is this big window in the temple from where this face of Kaal Bhairav god is staring out towards the city and people, I was waiting for the people to clear from the frame of that I can click this frame with the face of the god, This gentleman was praying to the god and was having a chat with him it seems, As I was waiting for him to move away, He started gesturing and was slightly animated , I clicked a few frames because it seemed interesting to me that he was literally kind of arguing with the god. And this frame was captured during these clicks.
I found it very interesting, tells a story. Please do let me know your thoughts.
EXIF :- Iphone 15 back camera click.

It does tell a story. We all shake our fists or fingers toward whatever deity we honor. We can also be animated even in a prayerful state. I'm glad you shared the image. Nicely seen. Posted: 07/06/2024 00:45:00

I see this image a bit differently. I see the man and to me he appears to be shielding his eye, maybe to get a better look at the god. I think the addition of the man is important; otherwise it is just a partially visible god looking out the window.
No doubt, it is an interesting image. Well done! Posted: 07/06/2024 14:21:48

I agree, and think that the man adds to the image. I kind of go back and forth on lightening the god a little to bring it out a little more, but either way, it's an awesome image. Thanks for sharing it. Posted: 07/08/2024 01:18:48

It tells a story about the man in the photo looking at the religious god. Thanks for sharing. Our iPhones come in handy in situations like this. Posted: 07/08/2024 10:31:39

Another interesting shot. I would like to see the "god" a bit lighter or more exposed although not enough to compete with the man in front. Posted: 07/08/2024 15:41:09
