Moldavia, eastern Romania. Galati is the largest port town on the Danube

River.

A while ago, Rosia Montana became overnight a topic of discussion ignited

by the media in the country. I took this photo on the outskirts of my

hometown where poverty prevails and also strong contrasts. The somewhat

childish message on the wall of the building, a block of flats which in the

communist era was intended to unmarried people, did not feel so candid

anymore in this cold November morning.

Hi guys. Thank you for your positive feed-back. I usualy prefer simple frames but here I thought the architectural elements above complete the very top of the frame and creates a pleasant contrast with the bottom of the frame. Paul, I must admit that I feel flattered by your appreciation as I see that you're Current POW Recipient (I want to become one of them...not only in my dreams). Thanks also for the comment made to my picture - Man with cat. Best regards. Leontin. 

The image depicts the front view from of a Romanian house situated in

Vrancea County. Thank you for expressing your opinion.

Village boys playing what they call Twenty-one (Nemţoaica). I got to know

them entering the game. I think some of them still wear a sheer kind of

innocence that is almost forgotten nowadays. (Vrancea County - Romania)

The picture was taken on a slope and the photographed portion was placed in front of a small lawn. Behind me was actually ... another section of the hill, with trees at the top as I recall :). Thanks for the appreciation. Best regards. Leontin.

I made this after I reviewed the movie Network with Faye Dunaway, William

Holden, Peter Finch, Robert Duvall from 1976. You will love to watch Arthur

Jensen's powerful character interpreted by Ned Beatty. Thank you for

expressing your opinion.

Hi all. Thank you for your positive feed-back. Greg, thank you for your support. I really like your variations and I am very glad you did that. I am aware that if you master the art in a digital lab you can significantly increase the value of an image. I usually use editing programs just for simple touches and, by the way, I must admit I am not so skilled in that field. When I got an ideea I try to achieve the optimal result but for me the idea remains the central axis of an image. Thank you for your kindly replies and comprehension. 

P.S. I got this ideea while playing with a pocket computer :).

I got this ideea during a game of chess while I was playing with the pieces.

Through my picture I would like to support the introduction of this wonderful

game in as many schools as possible.

Very well. Best regards. Leontin. 

Well done. Best regards. Leontin.
