BOXING MATCH

Seen from above.

it's better seen as 'larger'

what a perspective, seldomly seen applied on a boxing match. i love hose shadows in the ring. i might choose a tighter crop though. best wishes, fr.

Very nice view and perspective. I like very much the color boxers.

what a perspective! as a photographer, i wonder how you got access? as a viewer, i am delighting in the details. i like to see how the people present at this event organize themselves in relationship to the action...to speculate about the roles of the people standing around the ring...even to wonder why a seemingly temporary boxing venue has been set up on such a decorative floor. with such teasers in mind, i hope that there is much more resolution to be had in the original. a large scale, high detail presentation of this image might be on par with a photo by andreas gursky ($$$$).

that said, the creative color scheme is lost on me. by offering us this view of a boxing match, you have deemphasized the fight and redirected our attention to the surrounding scene. why not desaturate the boxers and give us the crowd in full spectrum?

Thank you. This was from a high floor in a hotel I stayed at(the importance of always having your camera with you!). I heard noise and came outside my room to realize there was a boxing match on the first floor! (thus the decorative carpet).

Kent, thank you, I see your point about the black and white detail being more elaborate than the boxers...agreed. I didn't know who Andreas Gursky was and its funny but i have other pictures like his which i've now uploaded to this folder....ironic. Thank you all once again.
