Is there a public link to view the contest entries after the winners have been voted? Might be nice to see and read these, even be an inspiration for the contests of next months.

This was in Phnom Pehn, on an ordinary day, and this image is what hit me when driving by on my way to a market. I could still draw the scene of her serene body, the monk and the traffic passing by.
