Hi Benny!

Excellent capture, the details and colors of the wooden door are well preserved in this shot and the friendly expression of the monk is just wonderful to see. Great work!

Greetings Benny: a wonderfully contextual portrait (writing, door, etc. - the kind I really admire). I wonder if you should have used one of the many long lines in this image to straighten your image along it. I have trouble sometimes deciding on which one is best, but perhaps the vertical of the column itself - a thought. Still full green for context. regards, c

Hi again,
Well, hard to pin down a favorite per se, but I do really like this one quite a lot! Such a genuine moment between the subject & the photographer, which is very creatively captured. Well done
Cheers,
Caleb

Wow beautiful portrait ! The man looks great with this huge smile and the framing with the pillar and letters is perfect.
Love also the tones of the photo.

This is also a very good capture - perfect timing. Very hard to get and rare. TFS
