Hi Maciej

I like the colourful almost cardboard cut outs, contrasting with the 2 gentlemen at right Well seen!

Not sure how you feel about this, but this is Martin Parrish almost in the tackyness of the scene. I quite like it, and it was fun looking at each figure trying to see where the real person was. And as I read it from left to right it took me a while to do that.

P.S. I thought you got rid of the 17-40 after getting the 5D..how is the 17mm end on the full frame?

Ulubieńcy mojej mamy:)
Fajnie namierzone, interesująca scenka. W sumie to też jestem ciekawy jak zachowuje się 17- 40 z pełną klatką, czy przy 17mm jest to taki prawdziwy szeroki kąt?

Maciej,
Nice observation...& really well seen shot.
Dark colors & this funny scene, you often can see in India mainly in south states.
Though I am not sure about this photo but feeling really ghood & action of boy sounds funny.

Well timed shot.

Swietne zdjecie, zakrecone. Spoko kolory. Ludzie w tle wygladaja tez jak z kartonu, nieprawdziwi, wszystko tu poza tymi dwoma po prawej wyglada jak makieta, swietny klimat i kolory.

Its another great visualisation. This is expected from u alwayas and expect all the TE members. The real and imaginary mingles together to give a very good thrust.U have used the background cleverly. The people at the further side on the beach gives a very good perspective.
Well done my friend.

Yes, it's fun but I don't know what you've done with the red colors, they look awfully saturated (did you take someone else settings or what?).. I know the fake stars should look colorful, but even in the crowd, patches of red color stand out like they were nuked...
I think you should have worked better with the two foreground shadows, rather than tweaking the reds.

Hi Maciej,

Were they using the posters for taking pictures? Would have preferred a shot, where a person is taking a pic with "Rani Mukherjee" ( the one sitting )
