The monastery is in Lo Manthang, Nepal, but the most usual language there is tibetan, as shown in the writing and seen by your mindful eyes.
Yes, there are lots of kids in this place.
Thank you for the comment.

Aguinaldo, you give to much credit, it was just a lucky guess since you have been sharing images from that region
his handwriting is absolutely beautiful but I wouldn't know the difference between other written languages using such beautiful characters

Aguinaldo,
This is an excellent study that highlights the concentration of the student.
Curious as to whether this was a completely candid photo and the distance from which you shot it, as I am bothered by the pile of modern cable beside the boy.
It seems to be anachronistic to the ancient feel of the composition, and if possible should have been moved before you shot.

Just did a quick search and found that the letter the Nepalis use is called "devanagari" and also used for Hindi, Nepali, Sanskrit, etc. I always find the letters used in Asia mysteriously beautiful.

Robert, I would think the other way around. I consider that one of the main points of this image of Aguinaldo is that such elaborate letters from the ancient era are still in use today. The modern cable is an important prove of that.

Love it, the light, subject, it all works.

It is a candid photo, taken aprox. 3m away with a 70-200mm f/4G.
I’d never remove the cables (I could if I wanted to), otherwise it would be a set up and it’s not the kind of pic I like to do.
Thank you for the comment.

Thank you for looking.
If I can be completely honest ... I agree it's great image overall ... save for one element.
The absolute detail on the child's left hand is a distraction from the whole composition/mood. It almost makes the hand look like sandpaper (or an old man's hand), drawing the viewer's eye away from the composition and concentration of the student.
A softer or more delicate focus of the left extremity would draw the viewer into the child, or the paper he's concentrating on, rather than making the viewer (or at least me) look at all the details of his closest hand (i.e., looking too closely at 'the tree') and forgetting to look at The Forest.
Just my $0.02 ...
