I am pretty late for this challenge on Headshots which is the subject of last week.
Four images immediately come to mind for this challenge.
The Buddha heads at Angkor Wat, Cambodia . . . . . .
and, on a completely different subject, the Humphead fish at the Okinawa aquarium.
The third one was taken in the Chime Long zoo, China. What a surprise!
The last one is a close up shot of the head of a terracotta soldier at an exhibition. Hope that it doesn’t scare you.
So, which one is your favorite?
Headshots, LOL. Asia rocks, nice work.
Thank you Ron.

I like the one at Ankor Wat the best.
You’d think I’d like #2…and I do! But #1 has me intrigued and making a point to find this if I ever get to travel to China.
Personally, I like number 2. The second picture was taken in Cambodia.
Regards, Michael
I vote for number one. I keep looking for more heads.

The last one. I would’ve never thought of it. Brilliant!
I especially love the last one, the soldier’s head.
The hump head fish is my favorite. And yes indeed it is cute!
The first one is almost haunting in its simplicity and beauty. Thanks for including it and the others in this post. http://ohtheplaceswesee.com
I love all of them but my favorites are the second and the third one. Although I would say the first one is just awesome too. The fourth one does scare me a little bit. Take care and have a nice week.
the first photo is best. the little monkey reminds me of a kid getting bullied on the playground.
All so excellent interpretations of the challenge Michael. You really got a good shot of the Orangutan in action.
Thank you for the continued support 🙂
I absolutely love the Humphead fish!
Nice – humphead fish for me :-)!
I like the Buddha heads at Angkor Wat
Wow! Gorgeous photos! Love the fish one!!
when I first saw the fish I thought it was taken underwater
Hi, the picture was taken in an aquarium, but has been framed as if it were underwater!
The humphead fish, definitely.
The last one is my favourite, it has so much character.
I think the Buddha’s faces are so arresting, and mysterious: “look within to the universal self.”
An interesting collection, thank you.
Thanks for the perusal 🙂
Great Photos! Better late than never… 😉
There are several photo challenges around. One simply is not able to do all the challenges each week. Thank you 🙂
Hi Michael!!! Buenos días! I LOVE the fish!!!! It is great!!!
Good day to you too. Muchas gracias 🙂
Great gallery, as always …. my favorites must be the fish – great shot … and the monkey.
The hump headed fish has my vote. I saw a bunch of them on a dive a few years ago.i love them !
Thank you 🙂
The first image fascinates–humans use of stone to create art and to honor the Buddha.
Thank you 🙂
Excellent shots but I have to say the fish is my favorite.
Thank you 🙂
i like the fish – nice color and its bulging eye is quite interesting! great shots!
Thank you 🙂
They’re all wonderful! I think they all deserve to be together, sort of a continuation of the first photo with various faces.
Glad that you like all the images!
Ohhh, hard to choose!
So, I take it to mean that you like all the shots!
Great shots -as usual. My favorite is the first one 🙂
Thank you 🙂
#1 is my favorite!
Thank you 🙂
I saw the terracotta warriors at an exhibition in San Francisco in March of this year. They were simply amazing!
Unfortunately, when they were exhibited in Hong Kong, the organizer put the terracotta warriors mostly behind curved glass, making them very difficult to be photographed. Regards, Michael
I never get tired of seeing the fascinating Angkor Wat photos!
Will share more!
Michael, You sure do come up with these amazing photos! 😀 )))
Many thanks, Fae
Well I think it has to be the first picture, such a contrast in colour between the two rock sculptures.
Thank you, it seems like it is the best liked picture 🙂
Are those alphabets on the fish’s head ‘l o o f i’
is that a code ? 😛
Hi, you are very imaginative!
😀
Why the humphead of course. Reminds me of when we dove in SE Asia.
Glad that it brings back good memories. Thank you 🙂
All the pictures are wonderful, but my vote is for the fish! 🙂 It almost looks like a cartoon with the bright colors and big eyes! Great shots!!
I like the expression on the fish’s face. Thank you 🙂
I love the warrior. He has a sideways, enigmatic scowl!
Thank you Grace 🙂
They’re all great, but the last one is furrylittlegnome’s favorite.
Thank you 🙂
Definitely the humphead fish!
Thank you 🙂
Love the color and “expression” on the fish!
Its look makes me smile. Regards, Michael
I’ve always been a fan of primates so picture #3.
This is the picture which is less liked by readers. I like its facial expression. Regards, Michael
Humphead fish :). Close second is the Buddha heads.
Yes, these are the two most like pictures. Thank you 🙂
