I like the contrast between his orange garment and the green grass. I find it interesting that it looks like he is squatting or sitting on the ground (primitive) when a chair is nearby (modern), yet is using modern gadgets. (I realize the chair may not be where he wants to be sitting, but it sets up an interesting contrast)

Monks seem to have an addiction for gadgets :)

An interesting juxtaposition of sorts - I also like how he's squatting on the ground rather than sitting in the chair beyond.

The chair is a little distracting, pretty good shot though

:) Good capture. The green grass nicely compliments the monk's robe.

Very interesting shot. Great depth of field and nice angle to shoot from. Just enough of his face to give the shot personality.

There is a similar monks and mobile shot in this challenge which as with this one I do like....subtle colours and a nice juxtaposition of the old and the new

I also like the fact that there is the random chair in the background, which adds to the slight air of surrealism

a good moment , closer crop would be stronger as the subject is not looking at you...

Nice colours - Wish we could see more of the face for added interest - Lacking a little sharpness.
