Much to like here.
Monastery is a great subject and composition. I would prefer more DOF I know
it's a personal taste, but also that I'm
not the only one bothered by foreground objects that are neither in nor far
enough out of focus. I'd also prefer a
little more focus on the flowers. Something more like this.

There are several exposure anomalies, to my eye. The upper wall in Monastery
looks blown out, as I partially corrected
above. Monk Housing is way too high key for me. I may have gone overboard in
compensation, but you will see the idea.

Monk With Shoes is a nice composition (shoes far enough OOF), but I don't
understand the exposure. All the other FOVs of
this subject look pretty well exposed, and this shows is a similar exposure,
but is much lighter. Was it changed in LR?
Those I like,
Monastery
Monastery II, in part for the echo of French Colonial architecture.
Wash Day, II
Monks Praying (I guess it's the chicken.)
Monk Praying
Monks Praying, IV
I don't much like the ones with the dog, but for stock, it might be good
(Search keywords, monks, dog)
Monk Housing, toned down at least a bit, is probably good for stock. The bits
of bright color are nice, but does little
for me.
I really don't like the B&W. The wonderful orange comes across as dirty laundry.
Exposed Moose
