Thanks again :-) I see your point, and I think the things you mention are the ones I like about the results. I think maybe my appreciation of silence is helpful in omitting the unnecessary details, but the the crowds and the staging was a bit too much. There are several other carnivals other places, not as staged, maybe not as spectacular costumes, but probably more natural and playful. It would be nice to try to take the same kind of pictures under those conditions.
And I really appreciate your comments to these pictures. It is something I can use under other conditions too :-) DagT > 27. feb. 2015 kl. 00.36 skrev Bruce Walker <[email protected]>: > > Dag, don't let the naysayers[*] influence you away from this kind of > work.
