[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Across the river from Warsaw's old city is the interesting Praga neighborhood which in parts is supposed to be quite dangerous. Here is located Warsaw's orthodox cathedral. WHile Polish people are mostly catholic, there is a significant orthodox minority. I beleive the one in the middle is the chief of the polish church, but I am not sure.

Very nicely cropped. I like the composition a lot. The crowned guy with the glasses is very interesting looking, and makes for a good center of interest. Thanks for the post.

bonjour daniel
j'aime bien la tete des trois popes, on dirait des acteurs lors du tounage d'un film celui du milieu est certainement le chef car il a le plus de medailles

Hola Daniel.

Me hubiera gustado que el sacerdote de la derecha no tuviera el gorro cortado.

Por supuesto, los colores y la definición son buenísimos.

Un saludo, Oscar

I like this shot, Daniel. It looks like the guys take this ceremony very seriously. Colorful ornaments and costumes. Definitely the guy at center looks more important than the others, maybe because of the medallions. Regards, Daniel

Hey Daniel,

you always post when I sleep:) I then catch up to you during my workday:) I love the costumes, so rich, so intricate and colorful. The bottom part of the frame is wall to wall colors and designs. Superb.

Very interesting compo Daniel...Excellently cropped too. Attention goes straight to the priest in the centre. Good use of DOF too. Very well done!

ouh on croirait une soirée déguisée, avec toutes ces dorures et casques en argent, ça doit être lourd tout ça !
bon cadrage, quelle chance d'être tombé sur le chef de l'église et ses 2 copains, bravo.

j.

Hola Daniel,

Interesante nota y foto testimonial, con buena definición y colores (el detalle en las vestimentas es excelente).

Resepecto de la composición... es dífícil porque uno no estaba en el lugar y no se sabe qué es lo que había a los costados.

De todos modos, creo que te ha quedado un poco "apretada". Quizás un FOV un poco más amplio daría una mejor idea de la ceremonia.

También, pienso que haber abierto un poco más el diafragma habría aislado un poco más a los sujetos principales, desenfocando a los del segundo plano.

Un saludo muy cordial,
Carlos

Wowwwww, Daniel, you went to a ZZ Top concert! I'm so sorry you couldn't get them with their guitars, man! An absolutely rock'n roll photograph. I can imagine the all night party that followed this.

Hello Daniel,
ils n'ont pas l'air de nager dans le bonheur ces 3 bonhommes...
C'étais le carnaval de Varsovie ? ;-)
Bon cadrage, a+

Hi Daniel, beautiful portraits of that Popes. good focus and wonderful colours on the dresses.
good contrat and POV.
thanks, ciao

Hola Daniel,
Good approach of this ceremony passing by, focusing on these three important priests. Fine details to observe on their clothings and crowns in a nice clear image and well balanced composition. We can see very well their expressions, which is nice and the lighting is well managed. Very well captured!
Muchas gracias,
Saludos,
Ricardo

I like the strong tradition of the orthodox religion that you show here with a tight crop on the clothings of these church leaders. With all the events of killing people in our country it is fine to see that these traditions are still present as a rock in between the rising intolerance between people.
Warm Greetings
Henk

Salut Daniel
j'aime bien cette scène, un peu bordélique mais les costumes donnent en contrepartie un peu de rigueur. Qui c'est le boss ? c'est une question drôle. Et respectueusement je les imagine en train de sortir du bistrot du coin.
je suis en décalage avec le vrai contexte, mais ta photo est plus intéressante que celle du paon ;-)
Pascal

Salut Daniel,
Je n'ai pas particulièrement suivi cette série de photos sur la pologne, pourtant, il y a de sacré pépites comme celle-ci par exemple.
Superbement composé. On dirait une illustration du culte orthodoxe intemporel, millénaire. Exceptées les paires de lunettes, ils auraient pu faire leur procession au Moyen-Age, ce devait être exactement comme ça. J'aprécie beaucoup le cadrage.
Très bon boulot.
Amicalement,
Fabrice

Hi Daniel,

Very good composition. I like the contrast between the silver and yellow colors here a lot. Very good shot, Bravo!

With BEST Regards,
Arthur
