i have got pics from this event from dana press, the problem is that i can't use these pics in this forum because the administrators don't want me to post them here. :(

Sue- · #89 12-21-2005, 11:14 AM

Thanks for the quiz Anna! You always have such great ideas

Elspeth · #90 12-21-2005, 11:24 AM

To respond to rchainho's post above.

The reason why we aren't allowing pictures from Dana Press is that they're threatening lawsuits against websites that post their pictures. More and more picture agencies are beginning to do so, but Dana Press is particularly strict about it.

Since we have no wish to end up in court or risk being shut down altogether, we have no choice but to comply with Dana Press's position on this matter. rchainho has been told why this is the case, and the admin team thought she understood that this is a legal issue and not just our personal preference.

It appears that this sort of issue is unfortunately becoming increasingly common, so it's a good idea for people to check the Announcements area regularly to see if there are any updates about which photos may be posted and which are not safe to post.

You're welcome Sue, but this idea was originally from GrandDuchess who made a Christmas Quiz at the December Newsletter, I only brought it to the SRF

LaChicaMadrilena · #92 12-21-2005, 02:35 PM

Great idea!:) I had 100%!

Heather1 · #93 12-22-2005, 12:21 PM

on the hola website there is christmas card picture of the king and queen with their grandchildren

isabella_ · #94 12-22-2005, 12:23 PM

This year we have wonderful Christmas Cards from the Spanish Royal House.
(from hola.com)
I think the one with the Kings and their grandsons is one of the best Christmas Cards they have done so far!
Hope you like it as much as I do.

Anna_R · #95 12-22-2005, 12:46 PM

I'll have to wait for the big version to formulate my opinion about it.

The idea is surely great, all the grandchildren together, but, for what I could see, it's a photoshop montage and not a real picture (I'll wait for the big version to see if I'm right or wrong), but Irene surely looks awkward in the picture.

i was thinking the same thing, Anna.
Leonor was in the same pose and outfit as was her 1st presentation. there's just something about the people and the couch that doesn't fit. so, yes, we'll have to see the bigger version.
But i like the one of Felipe & Letizia with Leonor... this seems a bit informal and very loving as like the other photos from the little infanta's 1st presentation.

purple_platinum · #97 12-22-2005, 12:59 PM

yup.. i think it's digitized...

the Xmas pics of the spanish royals were taken in the same day of the presentation of Leonor. The clothes of Felipe/letizia/kings are the same, the places are different.

Yep... the king and queen were inserted in the photo of the children...

That of the Kings is a photo montage, the children of the Infanta Cristina have not travelled to Madrid in the last months, only Irene the day that they went to the clinic. The photo of the Kings and of the Princes is of the day of Leonor's presentation. I ask myself where the photo of the Princes will be done, this white armchair might be of Leonor's room, it is a place adapted for a white armchair, not? :p
