'Dancing with pigeons' Ah the famous low budget follow up to 'Dancing with Wolves' . .

I could never understand why Kevin Costner refused the title role on this one . .

You know what ? In all seriousness I think this is a delightful shot !

I love the soft focus, the movement and the gentle colours in it . . the dynamic juxtaposition between the freedom and exhiliration of childhood in the foreground and the apparent gravitas of the Nun's in the background . . the organic chaos of the froeground and the heavy formal structure providing the backdrop.

The feeling that despite the clearly large DoF, that somehow there is still not enough room to cram everything in !

The Width and depth and light and dark, and colour and movment and everythingness of it . .

A splendid shot and you might just have been surprised in the Masters Free Study with this . .

Descent from the Cross

Jorge - another magnificent shot, full of attention to detail, and rich in empathy.

This is a shot that, as has been mentioned, provides more and more detail as you look at it. It captures in a single shot a moment of awesome emotion and interaction. Far from losing any accuracy by moving this to modern clothing, I think it helps engage our brains in the brutal reality of the moment, the raw pain and emotion, the very real mixed actions and reactions of the crowd.

Offensive ? It really shouldn't be - except in the realisation of the brutality of crucifixion . .
