Salut Claude,

Tu as reflouté l'arrière plan en post traitement? Je trouve le rendu surprenant.
Par contre pour le rendu global et la composition, ça fonctionne très bien.
Cette photo raconte une petite histoire à elle seule.

Hello Claude,

This is a very interesting picture and well taken - we see the scene in front of us from the viewpoint of the two tourists but still we can see what action is going on in the background perfectly well.

Excellent sharp focus on the heads of the spectators and lovely light and vibrant colours.

But I see something in the bokeh in the distant view - little spots of light look almost like the typical "donuts" (or "doughnuts") which we often see when a long "mirror" lens has been used. But I don't think that you used a mirror lens, did you? Quite interesting. What I mean is this!

Personally, I don't find the "donuts" in this picture upsetting at all. I think it's an excellent picture!

Brilliant!

Kind Regards,

John.

Claude
J'aurais préféré une photo sans la voiture mais l'idée est intéressante et la réalisation réussie.
Amicalement
