Sinterklaas - Saint Nicolas day

In the Netherlands we celebrate Sinterklaas on 5th december. Because of the privacy of my collegues and clients I blurred the background and is only Sinterklaas in focus.

OOOH Happy Sinterklaas Day to you and everyone there!

Saint Nicolas, we celebrate in some part of Italy as well, but not as much as is north Europe! Like the atmosphere of the blurred effect.

I am Czech on my mom’s side of the family. We celebrate St. Nicholas day on December 7. I like how Sinterklaas is clear in the picture!

The blurring did two good jobs - protected your client's privacy and gave you a lovely soft background for your image. It's a very nice outcome.

Great editing. Your Sinterklaas is more real than Santa Claus. He was actually Saint Nicholas who was a bishop and it is said he used to go walking in the streets sharing food with the poor. So the mitre and vestments are more appropriate for the saint.
