very nice...with only one comment....

try not to show the back of the monks' head as it is regarded as disrespect towards them....I was advised of these previously...

Whoops! Thanks for the advice. I wasn't aware of this.

Buddhist monastry bah.. anyway, a special ROM. good challenge to recreate the typical mood of a ROM in a Buddhist place of worship.
next time, you might wanna try shooting from the order side when the abbot solemnizes by putting on the bead bracelets on the groom's wrist.

Ahhh... You are so right on this. I really wished I was on the other side. But this came as a surprise to me as I didn't expect the bracelets. By the time I realised this, its too late to switch position. So the moral of the story is you need to find out as much as possible about the ceremony especially if it involves a religion/culture that you are not familiar with. But thanks for pointing that out Nikkie.
