I greatly appreciate the blur in the background which creates an effect of relief in the picture.
Is a very good picture of inanimate object... :-)

Thx

Excellent composition with the bright colorful round Mayan Calendar in the foreground and the blur square soft colorful background. Also, thanks for the interesting/cultural note you added to this photo.

Je crois reconnaître la pièce (au centre de la photo du WS) En effet c'est un magasin bien rempli .Ça doit exciter beaucoup les acheteurs .L'histoire ne nous dit pas si tu as acheté cette oeuvre Pierre enfin cela doit être dans les trois chiffres et je ne parle pas pesos ici...ouch!
J'aime bien ton cadrage en flou coloré comme arrière-plan de ton sujet ,la démarcation de celui-ci est nette et ma foi un peu en relief ce qui lui confère un effet 3D appréciable ,précision de l'image excellente ,encore du bon travail de ta part Pierre,
Amicalement,Carol

DAzzling colours in the workshop Pierre and your blur around this one has increased the definition. Lovely colour and well cropped. TFS,

Very fine colours Pierre, but I am not too sure about the blur effect. I'd have preferred a sharp subject

Hello Pierre, First I like your photo for its brightness and colors, but I would like to clarify some information you give: The calendar is not Mayan but Aztec, it is called the Sun Stone (Piedra del Sol), known also as the Aztec calendar, and the original is displayed in the National Museum of Anthropology in the Aztec room. Actually some of the Mexican TL memebers, have excellents photos of the Sun Stone. Sometimes artisans make this "cultural potpourri" objects, that they sell accompanied with a totally erroneus information.
I just thought it was important to let you know, besides I´m an archaeologist and felt the need to say.. Anyway, did you buy this kitch object?? in their own way they are superb!!

best regards

María José
