| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
A statue commemorating the visist of tsar Peter the Great seems to have a peek at the poster of Christoffel Plantin, the first important printer.
It seemed very appropriate, since they both stem from the same era (although Plantin was already deceased long before Tsar Peter was born) |

Right from the thumbnail (since I chose not to display the photographer's name & number of points while perusing the gallery), I kew this one was from you.
The sharpness of your sense of composition, the ability to catch new meanings in an everyday environment, the irony of your subjects, the sensible use of light: as engaging and challenging as your previous posts, Walter... ;-)
One small regret, though: I wish you hadn't cut the statue's right hand. But maybe this was the best compromise you could get, avoiding more annoying elements in the bottom of the picture.
Keep going, I hope...
A very original composition ! Perfect exposure and DoF. Zeer mooie foto Walter en proficiaat voor uw website !
