Great picture. nice costumes. What are they doing? Is this some sort of dance? Any reason for the picture for being in mono?

clarity is amazing. good DOF with the near 'warrior'. nicely done with BW. i wonder how it wd have looked in color though. is this similar to 'Haka'?

Hi! sohrab is right, i love your DOF too;-) i remember some pics from those guys from polynesia but at the time they were fitter and slimmer;-) LOL have a look at GIAN PAOLO BARBIERI's website... you'll understand what i mean...
superb light!

Hi Richard,
what a performance he...and specially in the centre og London...I find this fact very strange but I do enjoy it...You captured the event, their expressions, and their different movements very nicely in your photo...
Well done
