Daily Deviation

Given 2008-12-16

Athens Street Fights 6 by ~dimitriskoskinas is a result direct of what has been happening lately in Greece. Unfortunately, it isn't just happening there, and this kind of image is already a familiar scenery in the news every year, changing only the country and language. Athens Street Fights 6 portrays effectively this story and could be seen in a news article somewhere in the world - not only for the story it tells, but also for its sharpness and greatly achieved composition.

spectacular shot. Great point of view.

When deciding whether to buy a Nikon or a Canon there really is only one difference: a clockwise or counter-clockwise zoom. Choose wisely.

excellent incidental shot, the scope of the whole image is indulging and gets the adrenaline running whilst viewing. A well deserved DD.

Alucard: I had one man tell me he was a writer.
Integra: And what did you do?
A: I killed him quickly.
I: I'm sure the art community thanked you.
A: I like to consider myself a scathing critic. Non of my subjects survive my reviews.
