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

Hi Chris! Great DOF:) 20D is wonderful, of course. But I also like the composition - it's a compliment not to 20D but for you - and colour combination;)

WEll done!
