This photograph is well composed with beautiful light streaming through the window. Ashish captured a very nice moment with the young boys saying their prayers. There is a lot to look at: the small pictures on the bookstand, the small bell to the right, and the intricate tapestries on the wall in the upper left. The photographer got down low and made the picture at the same height as the heads of the boys. Changing your camera height can make a big difference.
