Stupendous shot, Mark. Into my FAVS pronto!
Unbelievably low POV that reveals these sleeping monks in the bokeh zone.
Masterly!

Hi Mark,
wow, what a great shot !!!
The dog and the monks with the same tired position, that's so good !
Excellent low POV, well done

What a sleepy threesome! it even could look like 3 brooms in the right side distance (yes, I know these are no brooms, but I'm a bit obsessed with my sweeping lately... I would also wonder why a third broom for the dog...).. and oh yes, three yellow markings on the sideways...
You'll score twice in both my "sleep" theme and fav box...
Undoubtely one of your best.

Hi Mark,
Nice composition. It all looks so pacific. The dog and the monks sleeping. The POV and depth of field are great. You really could have called tis picture the "3愀 Photo".
Well done

Superb shot! Very interesting scene and perfect compo.

naxius (16685) 2005-12-08 8:03

That's really good Mark!
I like the low POV that gives a good view of the context on the background.
The DOF is just great and it is still very clear so that the two sleeping monks can be distinguished.
Smart compo.
Bravo!
Alex

(Strait in too my favorites)
The DOF is amazingly good here with the 2 priests in the back sleeping/sitting
I love this dog

Perfect

This is great Mark, great timing, I can imagine that you were walking very softly as not to disturb the scene. The restign brooms are the icing on the cake here.

Hi Mark.
Une photo tr鋊 int廨essante et originale.
Le pdv proche du sol, et le cadrage avec ce chien en premier plan et dans la dof ces 2 moines endormis....tr鋊 bien fait.
Ca change des photos que l'on voit souvent avec ces moines....tr鋊 bien fait

Oh, very nice. Weren't you afraid of getting your face bitten off? I guess not. Maybe the dog has been infused the the mellow vibes of the place. This is a great shot. I am really loving the little yellow stripes on the curb on the right.

Bravo, Mark. Great capture, fun to watch, and i am sure, to take. You judged perfectly how to angle this one to the best story-telling effect.

Mark dude, this is really amazing. Love the low angle, the DOF, and the triangle of drowsy subjects!

Hey how's it going back in the homeland? Any idea about what's next for you now?

bip-bip (1837) 2005-12-12 17:10

Ha! Ha! Ha! Love that one! You seem to be so close to that dog, and nothing seem to disturb him! Everybody seems to sleep here, even you, being so close to the ground! Maybe you were lying to the floor! ;) Good use of the wide aperture, I like the fact that the background is still there but not to much present. Excellent framing, tight one, I like that the top part is very close to the backs of the monks. Good!
