   This picture was taken in the temple of Tainan, Taiwan. The items in the right part of this picture call "Bright Light", which people can get one when they donate, people believe that having "Bright Light" can keep them safe and health. On those items people put their names, birthdays and address. As one of Taiwanese, I really love this fantastic picture.

   It's called 光明燈 in chinese. People light up a lamp to pray for blessings, so you can see their name and birth date written below the lamp. (http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh/%E5%85%89%E6%98%8E%E7%87%88 , sorry I can't find English description for it.)

   Very good execution of the subject matter. I love the composition and what appears to be a beam of light in the bokeh background. In fact, you ALWAYS have great compositions no matter what you're taking a picture of. =) However, I don't know what it is you took a photo of, or if it is a good subject matter to take photos of in the first place. Please don't take this the wrong way. I would just like to have seen something more interesting in the foreground. Oh and I absolutely LOVE almost all of your submissions I've downloaded almost all of them now! Can't wait to see what you show us next!

   Thank you for the upload - I really like it. One question: What are the items in the right part of the picture?
