Photographer’s Note

Monks at the 300 year old Ganden Sumtseling in Zhongdian, China. The monks there are quite friendly and love teasing tourist. One thing they all love to do is steal your guide book and have a look. Here's a pic of a group of them huddled over the Lonely Planet.

Great moment and a very fine photo David.

Great shot, which instantly transmits the "mood" of that moment, the monks' curiosity (I wonder for what) however I think that this could be even stronger if you could take it a little lower and to the left in order to (a) See all three monks' expressions & relations (b) See the book's cover (c) Make the angle more "dramatic".

Haha I love this shot David. Maybe a bit more contrast here, because the photo looks a one stop too bright. Also I think the Category should be Humorious. :)

This is a great capture. They look so serious, I didn't think they were joking at all. It sounds like a nice place to visit. I'll have to add it to my list of places to go.

they're trying to find a nice club to go dancing later in the evening... I like the colors and the background, but it's a bit overexposed on some parts.
