Hi Maciej, this is a great one from Cambodia. Wow, yes, I agee with you he is a hunter. Great capture of the moment. Also another interesting thing is that both monks have their embrellas on. Regards, Sothy

Great humourus photo, the Monks have no idea or so it seams that someone is taking their photo, superb timing for this brilliant original photo.

The hunter has been captured by you. What strikes me in this photo is that the monks and their umbrellas go so well with the surrounding environment. Their robes and umbrellas and the yellow wall are a delicious combination, however the hunter truly looks an outsider.

Hi Maciej,

Very good symetry in the monks; had you catched the guy with his left leg back would have made it perfect.
Excellent frame.

Hello Maciej,

This must be action in action or frame in frame;) Yellow wall creates excellent perspective with its white borderline. Pedestrian path, monk’s clothes and their umbrellas colors are in harmony. “The hunter” is adding great value your scene. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Parbo

Interesting find, Maciek - and a welcome, humorous twist compared to other people's plain entries into the "friendly orange monks" genre. The timing is nice regarding the activities of the three persons, and the surroundings offer a subtly elegant playground. Greetings from Kyoto.

:-))) Swietnie podpatrzony i doskonale uchwycony moment. Niesamowity jest ten kontrast mnichow i fotografujacego, tak w kolorystyce ubran, postawie, ale przede wszystkim w zachowaniu: dystynkcja, spokoj tych pierwszych i niemal wyczuwalne napiecie fotografa... Codziennosc jednych i egzotyka dla innych...
Bardzo fajne.
Pozdr, Hania

Hi Maciej,
you know he probably has a good shot but it makes you realise what a prat we look like going around with camera firmly pressed to face.
Great stuff.
Regards,
Mark
