[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
10.05 a.m. – This shot was taken a few minutes before the one I last posted. The participants were using the fans and umbrellas as a flipchart to display the flag of Brunei. I was a bit late as when I reached the 4th floor and set up my tripod the display of the flag came to an end but all the same I took this shot with the participants still holding their fan full of enthusiasm but in a more casual manner.
I remembered a famous photographer who once mentioned that we should leave a few spare shots in our camera after a photo shoot especially of a group photo as the best shot is always the one after we tell the crowd that it is done. It is here that we will see them more relax and natural.
I still have to crop in this one, adjusted the level and reduce the highlight so that the white will be less glaring.

Hi Aloysius
Beautiful and colorful rendering of the dance by fans. The compactness of the image is well presented with lots of activity mood.
Well composed shot with good cropping work, Aloysius.
Cheers.

Better than the former one : the close up makes the colors impressive and the framing creates vertigo !
Beautiful and abstract.
Stéphane

What a great collection of people who come together to create a fantastic piece of artwork. Really well done here.

Hi Aloysius...
Awesome!
Almost an abstract composition in colours, shapes and patterns!
Greetings,

Hi Aloysius,
What a cacophany of colour and drama. The scene is mesmerizing as we strain to discern individual people, many of whom are visible, and the fans and costumes are well seen. The photo resembles a modern art painting that might be hanging on an office wall...Very well conceived and presented, Aloysius.
John

I love the patterns in this one, Aloysius. A great capture, and nicely cropped.
Regards,
Andrew.

Hi Aloysius
this composition is very colorfull and the cropping is excellent on this human tide.
A very interesting scene.
Well done
Bertrand

Aloysius

I like the close cropped treatment of this image where the whole frame is filling with a riot of colour. Really eyecatching.
