Artist's Comments

:hmm: as it says in the section guide, I hope this hasn't broken too many of the painters rules for portraits - I've no idea what they are!!!

This amiable fellow was sweeping the steps to a buddhist temple which shares the summit of a 135m hill with Phnom Krom - the Hindu temple we had come to see.

Old monks! You have to wonder what's going on in their head all day? Sweep this, clean that, stand on your head! What a different way to live. Nice photo. Good composition. Its good to see his hand made it in, to me that gives portraits a little more character.

great focus, he has a lovely face. I wonder how this looks in black and white, it just seems to have the kind of qualities that would suit it.

He seemed cheerful enough! I like Buddhists ... and Hindus for that matter - they are so chilled out.
Thanks for the good review too =D

Beautiful isn't he.
