Description
Was innocently wandering around the Vatican a while ago looking for stuff to point my lens at and in between picking my jaw off the floor occasionally,I rounded some corners and found this little side Hall being totally ignored by everyone....so I showed it some just love
Unfortunately some magic moron came and threw some pixie pope dustβ’ on those side panel things right before I took the shot,and before I could kick their ass
,it promptly ran away gigglin whilst heckling heavily in my direction that "everyone will laugh at your shit photography skills Goodboy and accuse you of being a slap happy noise whore!" 
I bellowed back swiftly before he rounded those Twirly stairs to escape that "my friends on DA would see past this act of flim flam treachery and would see it adds nothing but character to the shot...HA!"
Thanks for checking this one out

Inquisition, nepotism, religious wars and now pope pixie dust. Will the Vatican stop at anything?
It's great to go places that see millions of cameras a year and than find something that everyone else had missed!

Love the blue tone, mate. Is there a glass partition reflecting in front there? Anyway, noise whore or not, you did it well. Great details and variety of textures in the shot!

Thanks Len Sir,the reflection is courtesy of some sweet divine light peering through behind that glass frontal system,I never stepped any further than where I was where I took it so no idea what was behind it

Weird, eh? Maybe it was a POPE-ergeist!!!

Thanks Will

it's sometimes amazing how a small thing can change the feel of an entire image. For example here, the shot is perfectly aligned, perfectly horizontal and yet the spot of reflected light on the checkered floor gives me the feeling that it's off balance... tilted to the left... fascinating

Strange yeah,if anything it feels as if it may be tilted slightly to the right to me
Someone said something similar about the lone spotlight in this one [link] ,how it threw the balance of for them and strangely enough (there`s that strange thing again) I didn`t even notice it at all during PP or when I posted it

Tone, detail and symmetry are very strong in this shot. Nice work.

I know Obrigado!
I agree though my friend,it is one special City

Hahahaha, you're just another one of those noise whores Jon. How I've misjudged you all this time!

Yes,I`m nothing special at all my dear Cho and you best start watching someone more worthy

Well Jon, your interest in MMA completely saved you
Have you seen 112?
π: 0 β©: 1
I thought it couldn`t be my photography or rugged jaw
Yes watched 4 or 5 fights from it,very disappointed with BJ,he looked kinda dis-interested,basically and simply outboxed
Was really enjoying the Anderson show,but damn,that`s bloody frustrating when,again,he loses interest like that
Just reminded myself I still got Matt Hughes to watch too,other than that,only the Terry Etim fight viewed and naturally dissapointed with that one too,so overall,not a very good event 5/10.

Haha yeah I agree! BJ looked as if he didn't want to win or that he doesn't care whether or not he still holds the belt after the fight, though Edgar definitely deserves some credit. His hovement was lightning fast and he had a pretty solid strategy. If BJ had taken him down though, he would've taken him out, no question!
Yeah I thought the way Etim was submitted was pretty well executed as well as the black dude with the pink(?) trousers in the other fight. Anderson Silva got me shouting at my laptop for the first time! The first two rounds gave me some laughs, though I thought it was very disrespectful to Maia, but 3, 4 and 5 were a complete joke!
I read on the internetz that all sort of people gave Maia tons of respect and whatnot, but fact is that he still couldn't touch Anderson and he still is a very boring fighter to watch. Still he tried his best and the blame goes to Anderson for not willing to finish the fight!
The past few title fights have been pretty boring...I hope Rua v Machida II will be better! Or at the very least Strikeforce's Jake Shields v Dan Henderson

Agreed on all aspects mate
I got the Strikeforce event on Satellite Sunday so I won`t need to download that one
