Description Winter 1998/99, Angkor, Cambodia

A lone buddhist monk in the ruins of Angkor

Picture by =XiaoGui
: Asahi Pentax Spotmatic , telephoto lens

Please note: I know that this picture is a bit blurred. I took it sitting on a pinnacle of Angkor Wat, with an oldtimer Pentax and without tripod, so this was the best I could manage. Personally, I don't mind the blur and it's one of my favourite pictures so far.

I think this shot would look very nice if you changed everything to B&W except for the monk's robe. I really like everything else in the photo, great angle.

Thank you very much -also for your constructive suggestion! Unfortunately I don't know how to do this (b/w only parts of a picture... my photoshop abilities are very limited ). But anyway, I'm glad you like it

I'm not that skilled to be honest with you! but I'm sure you could find a chat on dAmn that could help you with it.

Thanks a lot for your kind comment!
This was shot with my biggest telephoto lens (don't ask for specifications, I have no idea ) from very far away, and without using a tripod. I regret it very much that it turned out a bit blurry, but I guess it was the best I could achieve with the material. And scanning the old photo didn't help either, I'm afraid
