Congrats! Lovely image…was he really blessing the deer or telling him he couldn’t have what was in the bowl? :)
Actually the opposite. He had some food with him that he was giving to the deer to keep it interested. Blessing the deer was a bit of a tourist stunt i think…but it works i guess!

Fantastic capture! These monks are not easy to photograph because they don’t like it. I just came back from Japan.
