Despite the busy-ness around him, red, golds, paraphernalia of a monk's seat (including fan on the left, and the ubiquitous plastic water bottle), I find his arms and hands (but also the foot) an extremely strong and riveting feature adding tremendous power to his portrait. Here we get a sense of a man who has forfeited outward appearances for the inner life, the intensity of which, we feel in his lively eyes.
you may have shot him just a bit too centered, but the message is passing. Bravo!

This Monk looks like he has been there since the beginning of time. At peace, yet exuding a power that is not explainable. A very nice picture, thank you.

He's emaciated. Look very dedicated to his beliefs and humble towards the people. Thanks for sharing this excellent portrait. Only thing I would consider changing is the white line on the wall above is head. It's a bit distracting.

A very nice shot of this monk. Monks are a bit harder than they look to portray. Anyone can "shoot" monks.but I have seen these great chairs around and I like this photograph as he is sitting in it as if it is a throne somehow.

This is one monk I would like to talk to.

Great Job.
