i loved the angle of the monk walking with his earth tone clothing and lighter color conical hat. The shadow is perfect with his motion in his arm as well as the lean of the shadow. Wonderful composition.

It's him! We both worked from our respective balconies on this man who follows his own shadow across the plaza at Chau Doc. It is instructive to compare your vision of him with my own athttp://www.pbase.com/pnd1/image/91823255 .
Your color version brings out the goods he carries in his bags and the warmth of the sun and the thrust of an arm that shows no hand. In my black and white version, I saw him as a ghost from another time, less real than yours, a symbol of a Vietnam that actually no longer exists. In your image, the past is alive and well. Fascinating.
