[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I happened to be in Marseille on this day when the Rugby World Cup was being shown. I'm not sure exactly what the event was, but they took the cup around a little. I managed to get this shot, before being somewhat moved aside by the "event photographers".

Hello,
I think it's for the arrival in france of the world cup because France organize the next world rugby championship in 2007 (or perhaps later because we need some more time to be fully ready (!)).
Best regards
JMarc

Paul,

Nice shot, you caught them at a good moment (and just before the papparazzi got in the way!) Background is a little distracting but I guess you did not have much time to set up the shot!

I tried a workshop to isolate the 3 men, hope you like it.

Hi Paul
Nice capture of the cup, you're very lucky to get such a view.
I think you could have used a shallower DoF like f4 or even f2.8 so we're more concentrated on those three men. Sharpnss needs some improvement too. Overall nice pic.
Cheers,
CheukHin

I like this Paul......."Being There" at the right time.
I think itīs the only way the French will get their hands on the damn thing,itīs obviously bound for England again...hahaha
