As you say, nice context. With the 25mm I guess you had to include some people in modern dress Wink

Yes Smile but in most cases, it's on purpose. In my view, spectators are part of the show. Sometimes, the best part. Smile

I do not like to make what others do, who take photos at these events, remove everything that's modern, and turn to sepia or B&W
in order to suggest "past age" Rolling Eyes Festival of hypocrisy... Confused

It's not bad, actually it's very sharp. Of course it's no Biogon, but that's all that I can afford now. I don't have the money for a Biogon 25 Sad
