Original – Young monks in Cambodia

Reason: I don't think we have promoted many images related to Buddhism. This image shows four contemporary adolescent monks in Cambodia. In Cambodia (and Thailand) young men may undergo a period of tempoary ordination, which may last up to about three years.
Articles in which this image appears: Buddhist, Buddhism in Cambodia, Preah Pithu

~~Weak~~ Support Great image, my only concern is somewhat mediocre EV due to how it is used in the articles. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 19:59, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose~~ not very high EV per usage in the articles. Tomer T (talk) 14:23, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Support After addition to Preah Pithu article. Tomer T (talk) 18:15, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support: I have added it to Preah Pithu, which I think vastly increases its EV. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 16:56, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: To me the image raises more questions than it answers. We get to see some Cambodian novice monks and a glimpse of the temple. However, I'm left wandering what novice monks are doing in an ancient, mainly Hindu temple. This is an issue I generally have with photos of monks in Angkorian sites. The monks' robes and the sandstone make for appealing composition, but one often wonders if there is any actual story there at all. --Paul_012 (talk) 21:22, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Agree with Paul 012. Wondering what this picture of Buddhist monks at a Hindu temple is adding to the articles? It's a nice picture, but I wonder about the EV. Mattximus (talk) 03:46, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
