[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Late afternoon on the riverfront. Several groups of monks had gathered and were sitting on the wall, enjoying the breeze and watching the river traffic.

As I focused on them, one monk must have felt me looking as he turned and stared straight at the camera.

Red and yellow saturation increased slightly, cropped, but maybe not enough. I'm not certain whether the back of the lion statue in the lower right corner should be there to continue the line of heads or if I should have cropped it out making a more vertical picture.

Yes you were spotted. Always nice to catch a face - head on - eyes "spotted". Difficult at times. I sometime feel I need a bell and ring it to catch faces turn my camera's way. Asians don't often like thier photo's taken. As a note it has been years since I was in SEA and this phot brings back many memories as the lines of monks came by in the early mornings and our local neighbors dished out food as a daily duty. That was almost 40 years ago now. Nice "catch"!
