Stanley cup - Dalai-lama lost it!
Lens: pentax 50-200 Camera: Pentax K10 

Hello,

This is a wink at the hockey passionates.

I was not allow to bring my expert equipment (zoom) and was very much far from the Dalai-Lama.
It has been shot at Centre Bell - Montreal.
I was working in very low light conditions with kit zoom lens. I knew I would not get a nice shot but this was a magical moment as the Dalai lama wear the Montreal Canadians shirt. Hand holding at 1\30 sec I got something not that bad.

But there was no details - Thus, I decided to make a creative post processing (similar to a painting) to make an enlargement , as this is for me, a special moment.
working with a few layers, and added texture, I ended up with this .

This was a one of a lifetime moment and I hope you enjoy it.

Thank you for viewing

Unbelievable~
Brilliant abstract & The Dali wearing the Montreal garb is surreal.
This reminds me of the best Leroy Neiman paintings.

Thank you very much for the reference to Leroy Neiman
I did a google research and saw his beautifull color energetic images of sporting events and personnalities.
Inspiring!

His work is very much different than other painting artist and very much dynamic.
