[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I couldn't resist stopping and taking a photo of this unusual scene by the road...I think these poor 'castaways' are actually part of the travelling fun fairs, here in Serbia usually performed by Roma people. Maybe waiting for a repair or maybe left behind as they have finished their 'career'...
I wanted to keep this, a bit surreal, mood so as the shot was taken in RAW, I converted the file into a HDR image.
Photomatix ripps off the exif data so I added it manually.

Zdravo Majo
Vrlo lepo si ovo opazila i verovatno po neki ciganin stoji iza ovog loma mada ni mi srbi nismo puno bolji ali sto se fotke tice jako dobro
Pozdrav komsinice,Braca

no, they are not waiting for a repair...and as i'm looking at the poor folks i don't find it proper to talk about the wonderful natural light and the moody HDR treatment or the very effective tilted composition that says it all...
anyway, i believe that the photo you took and the note you wrote are the kindest gestures they have received for a long time, and once again you prove how sensitive and talented photographer you are,msRistic :)
take care,
kostas

Directly out from a Kusturica film. Lighting is gorgeous, wouldn't have been even half interesting without that low end of the day lighting.
I wouldn't have guessed even one second it was HDR, from the contrast you kept. I usually dislike HDR effects, but you managed to keep natural contrast in this one, which is great

Zdravo Marija. Looks like an open air, improvised market. The for sale sign and the phone number indicate that this stuff has become superfluous. Whatever the situation, it does all look somewhat surreal especially with such a dramatic sky and light. Very much worth a stop. Pozdrav. Klaudio.

Ciao Marija,
Great idea and great job: the atmosphere seems like a Fellini movie's set;)
I love it: BRAVA.
Have a nice sunday

This is a really good one Marija!
Lovely light on a bunch of trully bizzare
elements scattered around the meadow, and
than that optimistic (if not utopistic)
"Plac na prodaju" sign on top of everything!
Well done and technically perfect + like Luko
said - I would've never guessed it's a result
of an HDR treatment.
Sve najlepše i ugodno veče,
Robi

Zdravo Marija
very interesting scene, it seems like a scene out of a Kostunika movie, the light was very advantageous and the photo is very simple and effective
well done
Regards
Daniel
