Hello Peter.

Oh dear where do they come up with these ideas!?
Photo looks a bit noisy, too many factors to disturb the attention that should be on the performers.
Like you said the cabbage is very camouflaged within the trees, it proparbly would work better if yoiu gave it a more striking tone.
Photo is slightly grainy but not much.
Light conditions are not optimal, some areas are really close to being overexposed. Didn't the filter sort this or what did you use for exposure time?

Hello Peter,
Funny shot,not easy to catch...may be a vertical frame better...to have the cabbage in its entirety..anyway it's good we imagine the following seconds with the cabbage on the helmet :-))
have a nice week end,

I can't take my eyes of the 'paparazzi' in the background - how many photographers does it take...

Good capture of the moment Peter

Hi Peter
Interesting capture of this performance - I find myself scanning the out-of-focus crowd because they're more interesting than the performers!!
I'd have loved to see the moment he caught that cabbage, though ...!
Thanks for sharing

Another interesting shot from this event; the crowd certainly seem to be enjoying it. There are some serious cameras over there. I wonder how many of them have a picture of you taking them...taking you..
I laughed at the "stray head". With reference to the cabbage it seems the head was just there on its own. Seriously your cloning has worked; I can't see where the head was.

Hi Peter,
A peculiar and amused performance, and caught well with your camera. The cabbage flying towards the helmet with thorns of the artist, and the action of people at this moment, with the artists doing its work, and the public laughing and taking photos, they give a great dynamism to the image.
Done well, and with good quality of image.
Regards,
Josep

Peter,

Funny shot! I have heard the expression to "cabbage my head" (meaning to confuse me) but this is the first time I saw this version!
I like the range of onlookers, from serious photographers standing, to the less serious sitting, and a baby in buggy wondering what's going in!
