High oil prices? No worries in Serbia..., a photo from Serbia, North

Photographer's Note

There's this EU plan to try integrate Roma people until 2015 into local societies through out central and eastern Europe where they form considerable ethnic minorities, but usually live in total poverty, without much chance to get good education, jobs, medical care, or even attention. Today at the central square in Nis, there was open air exhibition of photos with life of Roma societies as major topic. I was walking by Banovina palace just over the river, and saw this Roma guys just going somewhere singing some song together..

Of course, Title is a joke :)
As this was just a second, couldn't really place their vehicle into the frame, and didn't want to clone the left part of the photo to make this green thing not touching the edge. Also, camera is not perfect, so pls forgive all the noise in the bottom of the shot.

Hi Marko,

They are still keeping air conditions on an historical building's facade. Who care about it ? You saw the scene very well and you are fast, quick. Green horse car is spectacular. Excellent chose of vertical format in very good clarity and sharpness with natural colors... But your words are explain reality, without doubt. Congratulations twice.

Best Regards,

Ertugrul

Marko,
Nice decisive moment shot. You captured these two perfectly as the ride by. The angle of the shot is fine giving the scene good depth and direction. I wish you would have had time to caught this with a little space behind the cart. The lighting and colors are fine with nice sharpness and detail.
TFS,
Asa
