About	I wanted to explain how the following picture was taken. Yesterday on the yard of the Summer Royal Palace in Wilanow an event took place in order to celebrate the namesday of the Polish king Jan III Sobieski, that became famous for leading the allied forces during the battle of Vienna in 1683. The whole event had an enormous painting as it's background. It was a painting made by a famous Polish painter Jan Matejko (1838-1893). The original of the painting is exposed in a showroom of the Vatican Museum. On a specially prepared copy of the painting few characters were missing. The characters were replaced by actors wearing costumes contemporary to the paintings era. The person shown on my picture is one of the above mentioned characters. In addition the picture was not manipulated in any way, I only cropped it. The title of the picture is misleading, as the character shown on it is the messenger that delivered to the Pope the message about the victory of the allied forces, lead by Jan Sobieski.

Absolutely excellent shot... somehow the guy really ...composed with that paint!!! Amazing that element, perchaps his clothing, and the style of a high person of the goverments at the old years... really if you could add a small PS work the result easily will be... like he IS a part of the paint, excellent!
be well!
