A candid while walking around the Colosseo in Rome. The Centurians were walking around and I happened upon this unexpected find - a bunch of boys for Scotland down of a Football match. Not expecting much (5 -5.5), but I like it!

hi peter ... i think i've been neglecting you!!! .. this is amazing and wot a capture ... congratulations on an excellent photograph and a great place in the challenge ... :)
edit a minute later ... i really love the dynamics between the 'modern' guys and the centaurian ... love the drinks in their hands and all their different postures etc ... from his expression the centaurian looks like he's just about to draw that sword and take off a few heads ......
I'm not sure what's funnier, the guy's in skirts, or the roman soldier? :D This is a fun image, too bad the background is so cluttered. Good luck in the challenge.
