I agree with Michael Spivak. The boy stands out, he is green and (...), and I do see the scene with his eyes. What I see isn't a Pride Parade. It is adult people enjoying life. He/I has a little twist in his neck, so do I, wondering about life, pride, joy...
Imperfect DOF? Hard to say. The composition is very good, with the boy as a focal point, then the dancers, making a V leading towards the people in the background. One thing bugs me, the pink object at the right edge. How about cheating a bit, cloning it away? The picture is worth the trouble. Tim Another Norwegian. Never underestimate the power of stupidity in large crowds (Very freely after Arthur C. Clarke) -----Original Message----- From: Michael Spivak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 27. juni 2005 09:41 To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net Subject: Re: PESO: Street Dancers As i can see it... because of the "focus everywhere", the current photo is about the boy and not the dancers... the whole top part of the photo is very messy... everything with everyone.. nothing separated... but the boy... anyway it's a nice photo as it is... just may be blur a little bit the dancers and the crowd and leave the boy sharp as it is...
