Guan Yin - Fo Guan Shan

These are a couple of pictures from the spring flower festival at Fo Guan Shan - a newer sect of Buddhism that originated in Taiwan. Guan Yin is the buddhist goddess of mercy, usually seen as a stark white statue with a sunburst around her head.

The roling back and forth thing was really interesting on my machine. Not so much what it looked like from a distance but how it changed en route. A lot more transition than a print would under the same circumstances...

I'm not very good at technique, but the first one is undoubtedly amazing.. I couldn't even begin think how anyone would be able to better it.

And lol, the second one could indeed be considered as soft focussed ;P
