Photographer’s Note
My fourth posting from the 'Phuket Vegetarian Festival'.... Old meets new as this 'Ma Song' in traditional garb is highlighted in contrast to one of his supporters in sunglasses...

Hi Dan
This looks similar to Indian Thaipusam festival, and the Batu Caves north of KL in January are the place to see it. Tfs!

Intriguing and interesting capture, I like the colour tones slightly desaturated, I find the girl distracting from the main subject and theme.
