Whip it!, a photo from Pest, West

Photographer's Note

I took this photo at a summer festival in Budapest. This man and woman were giving a demonstration of his skills with a whip...she didn't even blink when he snapped the paper in half, LOL!!

Afterwards, there were assorted men in medieval armor prancing about the stage with swords which was quite a sight to see! After seeing all this, we became quite thirsty and had to drink some good Hungarian beer.

Hi Alli,
It's really a beautiful event. I saw some of then in Brazil too. I liked the division between the first level with the second one (out of focus).
Note good too.
Congratulations,
Wagner.

Hi Alli,
fantastic focus, did you use Photoshop blur, or is it the original? Very good, only the theme is sharp and no other useless things. Great work, gratula!
Bye

It's a nice photo Alli, with focus on the main subjects. I don't think I would fancy holding that newspaper, no matter how good he was!

Hi Alli,
A very enjoyable scene, and indeed humorous. You would think someone could have dredged up a piece of red wrapping paper or such, rather than just an ordinary one! I like the composition, the tight framing, and the background of spectators. Your sharp eye captured this at the decisive moment. Cheers.
John
