 This man was sleeping outside the corridor of a temple in Bukit Mertajam, Penang. When I was about to press the button, he turned around and stared at me. I quickly pressed the button, stood up and walked away. He mumbled. Luckily, he didn't come to get money from me for snapping his photo. By the way, he begs for a living.

Bah, humbug! Not very charitable of you! I think the least you could have done was give him a bit of money for the privilege of taking his photo. Still, i really like the shot and how busy it is with all the patterns.

This is an incredible image both from an artistic standpoint as well as the technical. The very compatiable color mix, intricate detail and different subject matter taken at a different angle all work no matter what the subject matter. An excellent entry and one that I wish I could have taken. A clear example of proper exposure, color and lighting in addition to subject matter. A worthy contender for a ribbon - one of the few I've seen in this challenge. Well done.

It's a wonderful shot, but it's just too overprocessed to be spectacular.
