surreal application of high pass filter?
or just the strong UV lighting?
The lines cutting into the heads so that the monks seem like a cutout on a geometric backdrop.
Not uninteresting, but the many element do not fit together in my eyes:
The monk-cutout, the concrete stupa, the pyramid, the steel door, the washing hanging outdoors to dry, the clouds, the tree & house on the right.
I feel this is a cluttered frame and you might crop to save it...
