Cornelius, the 11th is just as spectacular as the other images in your Gig Foofy Series - a beautiful spray of flowers indeed - I am very partial to the gerbera daisies - Excellent Capture!!!!!!!
the picture is well presented without too much taken away or too much left behind. nice depth to still give the feel of whats around, yet still blur enough to focus the subject for the viewer, at first glance i didnt know what you were trying to show us. then of course reading though the narratives..most intersting! some brave souls i might add. i can see why the sport is no longer played. ive done some crazy things in the name of fun in the past, things i probably should leave out. maybe back in the day i would have tried this...but now? even i "draught" the line here! im going to have to pass.
I did enjoy the read on the history, very fascinating.
Wonderful capture of a colorful spray of roses and Transvaal daisies. The etched glass carriage lights are beautiful and the floral artist did a great job of positioning the flowers along the side. Lovely image.
