    Some say selective color has been overused, but I think it works here. Nice image.

    Sergey...looking at your images might make me think that we have more in common than our politicians would have us believe. I like them all!

    Nice set Sergey. I particularly like the girl and the violin. Like john I also believe that selective colour still has it's place and it works well here.

    Not only politicians, the media make of Russian hungry and evil in the crash. They say that walking on Red Square Russian bears in caps with earflaps played the balalaika and drinking vodka. I'm sorry, but I have no such photos

    Thank you for approval, Russian photographers scold me for such a selective color!

    I think it is the same everywhere my friend. The media that is.

    Well Sergey..you can help demystify the myth that we, the outsiders of Russia think about Russia through your photographs. I for one admits that Russians drink vodka more than the rest of the world combine does.

    Nice shot and processing of the little Russian girl with the violin...all your sets are nicely taken.

    It is difficult to argue with that, although the Germans on holiday Oktoberfest drink and eat a lot!

    The problem of alcohol in Russia has historical roots, traditional and psychological, alas. Over the past 100 years, the Russian people are very experienced many tragedies. Memory of our ancestors about grief and death does not live peacefully grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

    In the work of psychologist I encounter this very often. An adult male can not be rich - it's dangerous! For my house, corn, cow gave his life, his grandfather and great-grandfather. USSR forcibly took away all the killing and for the building of socialism. People understood it!

    Women can not trust men - men died in the war! Woman is afraid of losing him, all the older women in the family lost men. Girl can not believe my mother, she is also my mother - afraid subconsciously.

    Between a man and a woman is always a complex relationship of their family traditions. This creates additional difficulties. The state does not want to solve these problems. Leaders of the country need a consumer society that works and eats, eats and drinks. Vodka + herring and no problems!

    This problem is all the media used their own selfish interests. And this is very disappointing!
