[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a scene that plays every sunny morning along the Bund in Shanghai these retirees come out and get their morning exercise sword dancing. Basically a tai chi with swords. Note: the swords are not sharp! This group is some of the best. They actually have outfits and are practicing to perform at special events. I love the colour/war contrast. This was the first weekend I took out my new 20D. I love it.

Hi Chris,

I loved the perspective of this shot and of course your original POV enphasizing the colors. The focus on the second guy also also a wise choice. Your camera is relly great we can se the quality difference from your previous shots. I see you're gettin ghte best of your new equipment. Congratulations,

Flavia
