Hello Loxuru! You have correctly mentioned my source being "Khartoum" 1966: thank you! The attachment is the screenshot that has been manipulated. 
A dramatic arena scene with consistent lighting - all crux shadows being cast by bright sunlight in the same direction. This is all in accordance with the direction and density of the background shadows. The crosses appear to be firmly planted in the ground, presenting a convincing illusion. Well done, Hammers!

Cosy place!

Good colour saturation and composition - that tense moment of anticipation when they introduce the big cats in the arena. I wonder if they have been fed recently...?
One of your best, I think. Very nice work with lighting and the shadows are consistent and convincing. The whole effect is quite striking.
Thanks a lot Bobinder! I am of the advice that the crouched lion had been fed and he is now evaluating to take some "dessert". The tiger,instead, seems on the run with half intention to leap at her prey.Good colour saturation and composition - that tense moment of anticipation when they introduce the big cats in the arena.

Nice work, Hammers!
Very kind of you Jollyrei!
This is an interesting variation on the picture you presented earlier this year, and it demonstrates the development of your skills.

"Floralia" by Prospero Piatti,1899 has inspired my manipulation: it represents faithfully what happened during these Feasts established in Rome between 241 and 238 BC in honour of Flora the Goddess superintending blossom of the fruit trees and flowering of cereals and various plants including vine. The period was April 28 through May 3. Specifically the scene shows the "ludi scaenici" consisting of theatrical plays, often obscene, acted by prostitutes and traditionally carried out in the proximity of the Temple's stairway.
