Just incredible. Each of your photos has a whole world of life in them. I'm not explaining it right, but it's the best I can do.

This shot is one a my favorites. The flying pigeons, the movement of the flags, the sunlight convey such great excitement! The exquisite focus on the monks is just gorgeous. So inspiring.

Girolamo,
Thanks for the comment. This was shot with a Canon 5D Mk II and a 24-105 zoom lens. I think this was about 28mm. I shot this in shutter burst mode just as the pidgeons scattered overhead.
