Sorry, but I don't see the connection with a "Cultural Event".

The lighting is superb. However the clarity around the Piper's left arm looks a little false. Is this due to background blurring?. I particularly like the light and dark effect though.

The photograph was taken with no special effects etc in mind.It was only when I saw the Challenge that I decided to enter this particular shot as I feltit offered a differentperspective to"Bubbles".
My comments as originally submitted tell the story. Reprinted below for your info.
"This shot of my grand-daughter was taken beside an out-door fire where we were toasting marshmellows. I believe the mysterious "bubbles" are quite simply an apparition created by the camera. The only editing carried out was to firstly create a copy then resize this copy. I have retained the untouched original shot."
