I love the way the surging water creates the sense of a chaotic world in which these men meditate. Again, a very hard call.

*****I'm drawn to this "monk image". Instead of fighting nature's power or fleeing it, these monks, in their meditative calm, seem at one with nature. For me, this is a very spiritual statement.

I do love this one and the meditation that these two monks are involved in as the water crashes onto them. A wonderful moment caught. I'd use either this one or the one before...I like them both but they have such different meanings to them. I do like this one though as it seems to be "in their moment".
