La Giostra Cavalleresca Photo Gallery by Giancarlo Guzzardi at pbase.com

La Giostra Cavalleresca

The ancient Chivalry Joust is a reenactment of the renaissance taking place every year in late July in Sulmona.
The original carousel was born during the reign of Frederick II of Swabia and was held until mid 1600.
*The authors of the textures used are mentioned in the individual images, my thanks to them*.
*The pictures were edited by me in Photoshop using various brushes and techniques of digital art.*

A marvelous collection of beautifully processed portraits!! Most of the subjects are not looking at the camera and their expressions seem very pensive - this has an unusual quality that adds a great deal to the drama!! Superb!!BV

Guest		18-Sep-2012 17:14
Giancarlo, Molto bene. I am not a big fan of composite images. However, you have transcended all the cliches and have made some powerful images here. I was drawn in by each one. Bravo!

A wonderful collection of these old days Do you know that on Megashot.net you can do a banner for your galleries just like this. I have never belonged to pbase, but many friends have accounts here. I just don't have the time. Love your medieval portraits. The texture adds so much to the old days mood.
