Hello György,
I just discovered I had one smiley left, so why not use it now? ;-) I don't know if you are familiar with Monty Python, but these photos make me think of that comedy act from the 1970's (or thereabout). I can't make up my mind if these persons are for real, or if they are all just dressed up for fun. My favourite person in the main photo is actually the little old lady in the background looking so totally out of place. Whether serious or not, these photos are quite funny to me.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Gyorgy
Well observed and timed! I like the expression on th nun's face.
The piano WS could also be another main upload.
Best wishes
Kasia

hello Gyorgy, Is it still this Meat-jelly Festival? It looks indeed interesting with the parades. A curious picture with this nun and the knight so serious. especially, the nun exp[ression is amusing. The pictures in the Workshops are also interesting. What is the moving piano? I like the man in the iron mask. Excellent picture. To see it wouldn't be a bad idea :).

KInd regards MAlgo

Hi Gyorgy
I agree with Gert - it does remind me of the Monty Python series and movies. Despite that I am sure that they are very serious and it is of your usual immaculate standard.
cheers
Ian

Hello Gyorgy,

To dress up, seems to be a love that we never loose. WE role play as children and role play as adults! I wonder who gets the most pleasure!
You are a star at using shallow dof and this is up to your normal standard, fine f/g details but enough oof b/g to create a sense of place, or mood.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)
