With the first breezes of Spring, TE members began to upload creative photos one after one. I think after some time, regular becomes boring for a photographer, this time the photographer is Sanctus Benedictus, and he yearns for a genuine composition. Why not the ceiling of the Kodak Theater?
I was amazed to see its originality even in its thumbnail form, it liked it much better in full size. Excellent light arrangement and sharpness.
Cheers
Denny
