Photo: People Watching at the Polo Championships

Sometimes the people watching competes with the events at which the people are attending.  Stepping back from the Arabian horse that I showed the last few days revealed this scene of the people watching the horses during halftime of the Scottsdale Polo Championships.

I considered cropping this photo to show the person who is the primary subject of the photo, but I decided that was not necessary.  The viewers' eyes will focus on the primary subject even with the distraction of the wider scene.  Just as the man at the left seems to be doing.

Today is Sunday, so we have new photos posted on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.  This week we are showing another series of photos of the ancient Khmer Temples of Siem Reap, Cambodia.

I dont' think I could attend this event. I don't own a hat.

You could make a second version with only the two people in the middle. Would look great i think.

Very interesting picture indeed. Could have been done in a square format too but not necessary as you say.

He's a good contrast to the dress of the others.

Are there other people in the picture in addition to the Marilyn Monroe figure with the nice . . . hat?
