Great timing here to leave the monk in focus with blurred cars behind. Vote.

Is he as little as the scale suggests in this shot?

Fabulous photo journalism.

interesting contrast of worlds...

Excellent to have the traditional monk so calm and sharp and the traffic so modern and frenetic. V

The busy background and lines on the pavement make such a strong contrast to this colorful monk! V

He stands out in his traditional attire. Nice bit of motion.

I agree with Alister and Boris, nice isolation of the monk with the movement in the background...all kinds of contrasts here. - Racine

Great contrast in Lifestyle and good feel of action in the background, let the monk nicely stand out!

Looks like a Thai Monk.. great shot, I love that he is almost frozen with the shutter speed, but the cars are slightly blurred. A good metaphor for modern life...
