I actually posted a comment on your image during the month, to the effect that it reminded me of a musical production set in an operating theatre! The seeing and composition are entirely to your credit. Very well done.

I must say I am stunned to have won on only my second month of entering. As I don't have my own photo site, I tend to post my pictures on the Leica Users Forum (username topoxforddoc), just because it's easier. Although I'm not played by Warner Oland or Sidney Toler, I do have a number one son!. My name is Charlie Chan and I spend most of my time as a cancer surgeon in Cheltenham, home of Jump racing. For those who want to know some finer details of the shot, I took this at a Charity Revue show played by my Oncology colleagues, which raised almost 20,000 USD for our local cancer charity that benefits the patients that we treat. . This picture was taken on my R9/DMR, 180 Summicron at f3.4 ASA 400 -0.5EV. I shall look forward to your comments in the future.
