Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Love the first three - your artistic style is fantastic. One thing for #3 though, tune (no pun intended) down the saturation of the trumpets as it's overpowering the rest of the image.

I quite liked the over the top gold.

Last photo the shoes in the foreground is a little offputting for me, the others are all fantastic.

Great series.

I agree that the foreground shoes in the last shot are not in keeping with the theme.

Theo - you never cease to amaze me with your superlative style. In the last shot cropping to just above the foreground legs turns this shot into a keeper :)

I love every single one of these. they are simply amazing!

It may have already been asked but why is there black markings on their cheeks?

Also what lens were you using?

many thanks for your comments and your great suggestions always.

As for the black markings :
The mark in the face is a tradition sign of the participants of the team that i shoot for. They call this foumo (something like coaldust) and at the 4 days that Anakatosaria takes place, all the city "wears" foumo.

Nikon 17-35mm f2.8 on these. What a great lens...
The only nikon lenses that i have/use are the 17-35mm f2.8 and the 85mm 1.4d. (i have the 50mm f1.4 and 85mm f1.4 zeiss zf too, but i rarely use them on photography - just cinematography - due to manual focus). I think that they are cover everything that i want to shoot. If only my camera was ff and 85mm was 85mm.... i would be a happy man :D.

Wow. I really love this unique style of shot. It has a particular upbeat (no pun intended) kind of feel to it. Well done.

I agree with PiroStitch that the trumpets in #3 draw too much attention from the rest of the image, but you certaily have an artistic flair. The first three images are superb.

A great feel to these pics Theo.

#1 for me gets me into the feel of 'follow us on our journey'

..not quite a National Lampoon movie but the promise of some fun and frivolity!

As always a pleasure to view & CC you pics.

cheers
