I liked the brightly colored monks out acting like any other tourists.
Photo taken a while ago in Laos with Canon EOS Rebel T3i at f/4.5, 1/320, ISO640 at 200mm.

Hi Leslie. This is a fine shot showing 3 figures that are very common in Buddhist countries against a very neutral backdrop. Good contrast of the 3 figures. As a tryout, not accepted in HI but a bold photo anyway would be to do a duo chrome B&W and orange only, my photo for this month was exactly that originally.   Posted: 09/08/2025 20:56:38

Leslie, an interesting image of the monks. I personally like the front pair with the colors of their garbs and the contrasting blue tote bags. Just a personal opinion and choice is that their is too many distractions involved in the story with the other people / monk and the tree with a dull grey background. I played with this a bit and in my opinion a much tighter crop enhances and tells a better tourist like story. Camera settings appear to be good for this situation.   Posted: 09/10/2025 15:18:06
