Once a year, monks in Bhutan perform a demon subjugation dance known as Tum Ngan. Reportedly, the ritual eliminates evil spirits. Well, they came to New York City for a week and performed all over public squares. I am sorry to say, the evil spirits are still with us. We can't seem to get rid of Rudy Giuliani! (Just kidding)

He is quite a colorful character & the mask looks pretty devilish to me. Very nice detail too ... excellent capture.

Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the 'ah-ha'. Ernest Haas

Great reds and yellows here. Love the capture, and really enjoyed the accompanying narrative.

As for Rudy, I was almost hoping his campaign lasted longer.. those who know him would've had a chance to show the country who he really is..

Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.

Wonderful color and nice clarity. Very impressive from this angle. I'm so glad that Rudy belongs to you and not the country.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

I only chose the angle because there's a crowd of people standing all around him and I didn't want to bother with them.

Now that's dramatic! I like the angle a lot, and the colours just leap out of the screen at you!
