And the answer is …

 
As Crystal so aptly put it, “He may be a monk, but he’s human too.”

Thanks for playing, everyone!

As a side note, I had to slightly alter the shot above. See, this was the original.

 
 

 
I suddenly realized that the reflection of the orange robes on the glass would give away the answer, so I quickly did a rough black and white treatment on those sections. Then I burned and blurred those same areas so you couldn’t tell what the reflection was.

 
I think I would have made a great secret agent. Or maybe a tabloid photo faker. I think I could have made this lovely old man look like Paris Hilton lost her cosmetic bag, yes? I wonder if The Enquirer is hiring.

 
By the way, it wasn’t just any old chocolate he was looking at, either. Yes, he and his friends certainly know the good stuff when they see it.

 
 

 
And now, I hear the faint voice of a giant Toblerone bar calling me from the upstairs bedroom. I think I’ll go see about it.

    Wow, I never would have caught the orange robe reflection. I’m still having trouble making out exactly where the robe is in the original shot.

about me

I write, cook, play music, and make pictures. Not necessarily in that order. I was born and raised in the Philippines, and it shows. That means I eat rice with every meal, love my cousins like my own siblings, and firmly believe that avocados are best eaten with cream and sugar.

If you want to learn more about me, here are 43 things I'd like to do. Here's a little something about my name, in case you were wondering. Here are some other places you'll find me:
