refreshing...
there are few women amongst the men...:-)))

no, not the place i'd like to find myself at...:-))
but i do love that effect of "breaking the pattern" in this image...

Hello Cristian,

The collection of 'men', the mighty collection...the testosterone , or the lack of it - is overpowering...almost abominable...

thanks for sharing

Hi Cristian,

I just love these frames jammed with shiny happy people. Great idea to go for bl/w, though...

The man in the middle below makes a great center to the composition and adds a lot the quality of the picture.

Excellent shot.

Benny

Hi

seems to be your photographic environment at the moment. Strong response, as far as I can see. I like the B/W tones. It´s a good photo. Looks a bit like a reportage.

The contrast with the next photo could not be greater, your scan is perfect but I also like a lot the tones of this B&W photo and the elevated POV, incredible how many "males" (and still, some females as well I can guess) can enter into one frame, very well done with a sort of graphic effect as well !

Best,
Cath.

Hi Cristian,
I am really getting behind with critiquing these days...sometimes TE takes its toll:)).
How many men in one photograph ! And a few of the feminine species hehe, not being paid much attention :). It's great, the movement, the visual impact, very humorous in my eyes, the way they proudly parade, all the skin, excellent scan quality and b/w, very smart, love it.

Have you seen "Milk" ? Very much to my taste, Sean Penn excellent, as always I might say.

Warm regards
Michèle

Cristian,
Looks like it has just rained men. I don't know which one to focus on really. Hard to choose, too many choices. This reminded me of the my time in French Quartor in New Orleans. Being up on the balcony looking down. Excellent details, everyone of them is nice and sharpe and so well define. What a meat market. Great shot and scanned. I can almost smell musky sweat in the air. Thanks

3 ladys by the way! Very good b/w shades (important to distinguish the different qualities of the leather utensils). But I really like this very nicely shown athmoshere: relaxed and selfassured, and curious and well - everybody seems to be looking forward to something! I love this shot!
