I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw these 3 monks shooting the Three pagodas of Wat Phra Si Sanphet in Ayutthaya. I was pretty far away and with my 18-70mm lens there was no way I was going to get a quality shot - so I ran towards them, trying to avoid tripping over the ruins and got as close as I could without startling them before taking this shot.

Here is another interesting shot of a monk in Thailand and a similar (but different) shot taken by Farl.

Check out the whole set - Amazing Thailand.

    nah! don't crop it... a tighter crop is fine but i like it the way it is. it's more dynamic this way. I don't understand why a perfectly composed shot would almost always get technical suggestions.. crop this, darken this, lighten that... distractions here... there. :) good job.. clap, clap, clap!!!
