monks visiting Angkor Vat's by plancarpin

Siem Reap - Cambodia, Si«m Réab unusual pix of Angkor Vat... old stones and dense vegetation are of course there, but my focus was on the strength and will one can feel in this monk's procession. the next second, they vanished forever...

joe_schmidt - Aug, 10 2008 07:08am Excellent, especially the contrasts in color composition. plancarpin - Aug, 10 2008 11:08pm Thanks for your comment Joe! rangutan - Aug, 15 2008 02:08pm Brilliant clarity and magic contrast between the background and the robes [4.5] pesu - Aug, 16 2008 07:08am One of my absolute favourites... murrayskinner - Aug, 28 2008 05:08am I love the bright colours (Safron) against the grey stonework! Nice shots. eirekay - Aug, 28 2008 05:08pm What a terrific shot! The colors, the background! Wow! plancarpin - Aug, 29 2008 11:08pm thanks for nice comments..more luck for me than real skill! rip_drifter - Sep, 01 2008 06:09am I agree with the comments about contrast and colour and it being a technically great pic, but I find the expressions of the monks disturbing. Two of them actually look angry to me. It makes me feel like they are beig violated. Nobone else was sensitive to that or even noticed it. krisek - Sep, 01 2008 10:09am Yes, the expressions are a little unsettling. Two of the guys seem to express disagreement and one - discomfort. Interesting photo indeed... plancarpin - Sep, 01 2008 11:09am both of you are right! as you can see, no other tourists nor visitors on the pix..those monks were rushing through less visited galleries..we only met by accident, just the time for me to shoot and they vanished...maybe, they were as surprised as I was. petruta - Sep, 13 2008 10:09am Right place, right time, right spirit.... and great contrast. I love it!! marianne - Sep, 17 2008 07:09am They did not object to being photographed? louis - Mar, 24 2012 01:03pm Another fabulous shot. As you wrote you met only by accident they look as they posing for you. And it is truth that none of them is smiling
