We were invited in a nice garder party in Sintra (a small town near Lissabon) and a second before I left I took this snapshot. The water is not there for drinking (beer and wine was there for that purpose) but for putting down the flames which rose quite high when the sardines were warm and their grease dropped into the grill. You can see a couple of sardines on the table.
With Sigma you'd better use f/8 to get decent sharpness all over the frame. It works brilliantly if you teach it some tricks!

I like it, looks like the stage is set for some good times that are about to happen. About all you can ask for out of life... Is this supposed to be an art critique? The only art I can relate to is at Burning Man and still participating after 8 years.

Good interesting mood. Very actual. Colors a bit artificial make the scene more contemporary.

Without reading text, subject matter is pretty boring. Over saturated color. Not up to quality of others by this photographer
