More messing about trying to make a highkey image in photoshop. My models are not quite as helpful as I would have liked.

(sorry - I've disabled comments, if only to save previous commentors from reading more of them. I do very much appreciate everyone's kind words!)

Mamula fortress was a prison once and this is a part of the wall in the courtyard, if you could call it that...
The fortress is now overgrowen with grass and all sorts of wild plants and flowers...
Definitly a place worth seeing when you're in Boka Kotorska bay

Popular game similar to polo. The riders have to take a goat or more usually a cow calf carcass rid with it around a flag and come back to drop it in a circle. No teams no rules. It is very violent but exciting. I nearly got trampled a couple times taking pictures and last week I got crushed against a barrier by several horses. Hope you like the shots (more in my photos)
