Challenge: Take Two II (Advanced Editing VII*)
Collection: Street
Camera: Nikon D700
Lens: Nikon AF Nikkor 20mm f/2.8D
Location: Brugge, Belgium
Date: Jun 22, 2011
Galleries: Candid, Street
Date Uploaded: Jun 23, 2011

this is the photo I am trying to improve upon

It is not an exact replica (impossible to do a replica of a street photo unless you are willing to stage it, which I don't want to do), but it does have the same concept, and it also features a clergyman (more than one, actually).
...How much closer could I get?! :)

It inspires so much sympathy, and a sense of candidness, humanly more than photographically speaking.

Excellent candid Lev. Did the trap door open and swallow him whole?

What;s not to like about this image; so much interaction but yet it's as if each set of subjects are in a world of their own; priceless. Hope it does well for you. (voted earlier)

Nice candid. I just dont like the couple growing out of the monks head. A step to any side would fix it.

Great title - very nicely seen and photographed. It makes me smile when friends of mine who are not used to Buddhist dress/practices meet some Buddhist friends of mine .. also interesting to note that the monk who is taking the photo is standing on concrete whose pattern reminds me of mandalas. I voted earlier and you were in my top votes.

Excellent candid! Wonderful stories going on there... Great use of DOF and very nice details of all textures (floor, walls, fabric). Also like the colors and right saturation and contrast.

Is this somehow a reproduction of ? If so, that's kind of a stretch. But this is a much better photograph. The only thing I don't like is the people coming out of the frontmost monk's head.

To me, it seems a tad underexposed. I take it this was probably a cloudy day.. I think this would look better if you would've taken it from a different angle, maybe to the right of the photographer so that you would capture the photographer and what he/she is photographing, if that makes sense, that way hopefully cropping out some of the distracting people in this image such as the person in the background wearing red.

This tells a great story. Seeing a monk with a beanie strikes me as very modern and odd. :) 7
