Caught this at the fountain outside the Capitol building in DC. This monk was posing for his friend monk to take a picture of him, and the moment just really resonated with me. What do you think?

i wish the left edge of the fountain wasn't "cropped" off, but having said that little nit-picky thing, i really like the image... great shot... :thumbup:

I completely agree with the fountain part, and the great shot part :mrgreen:

Man, I need to get a wider prime. 24mm just isn't working!! And I just got it for the trip too!! LOL!! Anyone have an extra Canon 10-20L laying around unused?

Not me, so sorry... but I really still like your photo and am surprised you managed to get only the monk posing for his fellow monk, and no other tourists in the picture. I saw the two in the Air and Space Museum, also I took their pic, but mine is not as good, of course. I might show it, all the same. Who knows.

:mrgreen: I see it now. :mrgreen: I like it too...like the effect you used. Nice job!

I can see why it was so important for him. Water symbolises a whole lot to these people.... Your shot has more meaning than you know....
