Sorry this didn't do better. Comments notwithstanding about focus and centered subject. This was a picture I really enjoyed.

Not bad. I like the colours. It's a shame the focus was missed and you didn't get the monk doing something a bit more interesting. I also think if you zoomed in on the monks head as he was looking out the window, this would have ruled.

Beautiful golden tones and textures give this an appropriately meditative cast.

Beautiful color, light, and texture. I love the dark hallway on the left. It is such a contrast to the bright window. The man looks like he is hesitant to leave the light and return to the dark. 10

I went to Camboida and Angkor Wat about 10 years ago. What an amazing place! I like this picture very much. It does seem to have a bit of a yellow or greenish color cast, though. Did you do that on purpose? I remember the monks' robes as a more vivid orange. Or, is this a faithful reproduction of the scene and only my memory is wrong? Thanks for the great shot either way. What an amazing place that so few people ever get to see. I like the composition quite a lot.

So this is one of those photos where I have to look for a reason not to vote 10 - initial impression is perfection. There's some slight softness in the stone - does that actually detract? Hard to say. Light is essentially perfect; the blowout in the arm is not a problem for me. The intrusion of the wall on the left distracts a touch, for me.

For now I'll say the slight softness does bother me, and vote a 9, but I'll revisit later. Regardless, this is a spectacular image.

Photo gives a nice sense of peace and tranquility. Could be a tad sharper, but it looks like you had tough lighting to deal with.
