Fantastic capture--and framing! These faces are so striking...

J'aime tellement la manière dont tu as "meublé" le cadre: nuages, arbres et danseurs au fond, avec les deux hommes au beau milieu.
La lumière dans ces plumes oranges est à couper le souffle, éclatante...
Une fav!

it was difficult to ask the hundreds behind him to get out !!

carf says:

I think it's that wonderful background that gives scope to the entire picture. He'd be lost without them......
I'm glad you didn't ask them to leave the scene (that would be funny though.....)

Pure magic; the contrast between the "inyourface" and the group "doingitsthing" is perfect in this capture; whoa; immediate fave ( ;~)>

Stupendously good. Effortlessly avoids looking like a tourist shot by leaping straight into art.
