The author's and the other Club members' commentaries are very interesting and cognitive.
As to the picture itself, it seems to me that it looks as a three-dimensional one. Good!

I don't like blurred background. It looks fake for me.
And about subject of this photo - I don't like mixing nationality and ethnic traditions with Orthodoxy and orthodox culture. Even if this performance was based in religious roots, this particular moment, pictured on this photo, shows nothing except fight. There is nothing about St Lazar's creed.
If this photo's theme is Orthodoxy, next time i'll upload photo of the mud, because for me it's stricty connected to one of Christ's parable.

Oh, Most, come on... Don't go so far. This has to do with Serbian tradition which is very precious to us. Your 'qualification' of this photo may really hurt some feelings here...

Ecclesia militans?
Hmmm....
I do not know whether I like this idea....

I knew this photo would upset the spirits.
To Joseph Matusiak: Marina has given an excellent answer, dear brother. Yes, I realise in that case all kinds of photos could find its place at this site...
So, as you have a point, I will give a simple explanation. This photo was taken on St Demetrius commemoration day -this monastery's Feast. This performance was a part of after Liturgy 'celebration'. Our Bishop was present and liked the programme very much. In my opinion this photo is a very good ILLUSTRATION of what Serbian Orthodox Christian believers (knights) were and looked like a long time ago. If you are familiar with Serbian history (and I don't have any doubts as you are St Vladimir's seminarian?) you have read about the creed St Lazar's knights died for: For the Venerable Cross and the Freedom of Gold! These people looked like the ones shown here in this photo. And the people shown in the photo are Orthodox Christian belivers and they truly live this creed!
It has to do with Orthodoxy. That is why I have written a longish description (mind you , I could have posted it without any explanation). If you wish, we may continue this discussion via our personal e-mail addresses.
I don't think this photo breaks the regulations of ORTHPHOTO or insults any religious feelings of any Orthodox Christian believers in any way. Otherwise, I apologise and wonder if any of its moderators could remove the photo from the site. It is all right with me.

To jumatusiak : CHURCH is making from people who are Ortodox. This is part of the CHURCH.
jmatusiak2005.11.15 [11:27]
Even being familiar with Serbian History I fail to understand what this photo has to do with Orthodoxy. I do, however, understand what this photo has to do with a nation of people who are Orthodox, but not what it has to do with Orthodoxy. Please help us understsand.

hm, nie wiem co zrobić, czy postawić ocenę, rozumiem, że to turniej monasterski......

Tomo (xy yx): Well, you should be familiar with Serbian history to understand what this photo has to do with Orthodox Christianity. :)
