hi Thomas

I read the 8 rules and it does not include electronics or cameras :) or flying into space so I imagine they can be very modernistic or futuristic monks.

A nice smile, a nice place because I can see details of the temple behind him.

Nice work.

tfs, bill

Hi Thomas,

Very nice candid shot, intersting POV and very good sharpness. The orange color is very eye catching.
Very nice composition.

TFS...Ramon

Hello Thomas
Here is the proof that monks can levitate.... I can perceive some kind of a street down below!
Quite a sympathic smile, indeed!
Cheers.

Hi Thomas, a picture really particular. The laughing monk is wonderful and the contrast of the yellow dress is fantastic!
Complimenti per la foto e per il tuo italiano :)
