Great job of capturing the expressions on each of their faces. I like the blurred background so I can concentrate on the main subjects. Looks like it would be a lot of fun. Great catch!!

Never heard of steampunk, and didn't know the ren faire would use this as a theme. Glad to know about it.
Like studying this group in their interesting and varied costumes. Good subject.
They have been posed well with two men on the right, balancing two on the left, the ladies in the back creating some depth and a secondary height, the two ladies in the front balancing. Think the lady on the far left looks too crowded, and maybe I would have left her out, or perhaps you wanted four groups of twos. The guy on his knee completes the picture, and adds a third height.
Like the brightness, the colors, the light.
Blurring the backround created a neat effect.
Too bad the front toes are cut off, which is a bit distracting. Perhaps just a step back? Took off a half point for that.
I like this work, and haven't seen anything like it.

This is amazing Eileen!

Love how this has turned out.

Fabulous characters and love their costumes as well as how they are posing.

This would make a fabulous album cover.

    wow, thanks adrian! Perhaps the festival will choose this one in their photo contest as that is where I am heading with this one.

Very interesting notes. The people are great. Rich bright colors draw the eye in. Lighting is nice. The blurred background and edges are a bit distracting.

Interesting blurring technique.
They look as though they dropped in from another dimension like Dr. Who.
Great colors, lighting and composition!
Thank you for sharing!

Well, you have educated me with your notes - I have never heard of steampunk before! This image is so colourful and cheerful - I really like your editing very much, it gives an original presentation to the shot.

A very special shot, perfect explanation of reason and life style - amazing image creating really a different kind of feeling recognizing life in all diversity - the arrangement and composition of this picture has a great artistic value as it is made up to create a different kind of impression - guess one day in that area creates a different meaning about the ancient times and their believes - great focus, perfect front shot, clear and sharp - great modifications making the picture also old and ancient LOL - well done

Comment from bushimages


Good quality image with great viewing impact very much highlighted by the blurring of the background,the depth of field has bought out good detail and colors that really catches the viewing eye ,the blur of a leg? In the in the lower left corner slightly distracts from a clean viewing lead and the image getting a 5+ :)thankyou for sharing your image for my review,well done! Interesting background work with the bluing?It's good to retain some detail so use for good mot evil OK :_00

    Blurring overdone? Perhaps by common standards. But since when am I common. Lol thanks John!
