[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I saw him right the moment he stepped down from his room. Khmer monks in Mekong delta are really active and handy, they usually take care all the daily work in the pagoda, where they're living. This temple has been re-painted by the monks themselves.

Excellent color saturation, Hoang. I like how you have played with the composition to add live to the image. Good job. Cheers, Enrique

Excellent strong colours you got in this shot. I like the way the monk is enjoying his cigarette and the capture of the smoke was very well done. Congratulations.
Antonio

Hey Hoang Long,
Wonderful POV, colours are sharp and vivid, lovely capture of the monk's having his simple bliss in his cigarette!
Regards,
Jom

Hi Lylong,
Nice composition and colors. Well done.
Cheers.
Michel

Great moment, and in the richest colors as possible, still the graphism of the temples is slightly overcoming the stance of the monk. I am not sure what was the alternative, you really paid attention to the composition, maybe to the expanse of the "decisive moment" impact. it would be great to hear from others about it.

Nevertheless, you do have much talent, seeing your previous contributions, and it shows again here, do not mistake me.
