Description As the sun spread its golden wings across the sky, everyone on the river pulled out their cameras to shoot the spectacular rising. I looked around and saw them.

Moral: Sometimes it pays to look in a different direction

I added this because it reminds me of a time I saw some monks inside of a Bestbuy Electronics store. They were individuals that looked like monks anyway.

Also, it's a very good and interesting photograph.

I have looked at this a few times. Very nice.

Reminds me of seeing a van pulled up by a gas station with a couple of monks leaning on the their van smoking cigs. I wish I had had a camera with meI had to laugh.

Really. They had the van pulled around the side hoping to hide a little. It reminded me of thirteen year olds hiding in the bushes. It was priceless. I am guessing they still had a ways to go...but who doesn't?

Them being on your right led to really nice composition balance. That dawn light and those robes give great colour.
And the moment is priceless.
1st class image!
