The velvet arena was mentioned to me because I was talking about how woman are not allowed to touch the monks, which I did not know about until I first went to the temple.The figure 1 was shown to me because of how the hand is highlighted which could represent that they could not touch this draws your attention.

Figure 2 reminds me on one of the images that I took while at the temple (look at image to the right)  Even though the lighting is completely different the subject is similar. I wanted to photograph the visitors reading from the books that have the chants in. figure 2 show the back of a man neck that is highlighted by the light. The light becomes the main focus of the photo highlighting the texture of the mans neck and his jacket. My photo does not have much light that is highlighting anything and it does not show much texture. figure 2 has shown me what a flash may have done to my photo.
