The Swan - Dedicated To Cylla Von Tiedemann

Genial, has llenado la escena de belleza magia y poesia.

Saludos cordiales

Great composition and light!

Stunning... touching... vibrant! 10/10

Yes, I have to agree this is a beautiful shot -- form, shape, tones, contrast, sharpness, facial expression, it has them all.

 

Wondering though, what if we give more space on the left to turn the frame from sq to landscape, would that be more dynamic? I am not sure yet, just my "what if" habbit working. lol.

 

Warm regards, Ray.

Thanks Alejandro, Jim, Thierry and Ray for your very generous feedback. Ray, you are absolutely right. It is confined - poor girl!!! It was shot in a tight space and next to a door with difficult light at the bottom of a stairwell. However, wanted to preserve the "6X6" format to accentuate the circular nature of her tutu and enlarging the square would have brought in unwanted objects from other sides. I have uploaded the original file for your review. Thanks again. Regards, Kelvin.

So beautiful ! Congratulations

Thank you for your critique. Regards, Kelvin.

Interesting point of view...I like it

 

Absolutely beautiful work.

Beautiful shot and angle. The only thing that I find distracting is the bar behind her going to the left of the page. Becky

graceful moment beautifully captured from a rare perspective. marvellous composition, light & tones. as beautiful as any of Degas' dancers. regards!

Simply amazing!

Very beautiful !!!

portrait molto bello espressione taglio luce mi piace

complimenti!!!!!!!!...cordiali saluti alex from italy........

bravo!!!!!!!!

Very attractive and original composition. For some reason I keep wanting to see this with a horizontal, rather than square, crop. But in any event, it is a great photo.

Kelvin, I really like your dance images. Although it does seem tight, I don't mind it that way. Good choice on desturation. I really like the contrasts and the angle is great.

Such a wonderful image, dear Kevin!!!

Your Biography is probably the most interesting -IMHO- I've read on photo.net!!!

I love this... BW...images always strike my eye... beautiful..

Lovely scene, Kelvin. Her pose and the light are unique. Transforming the original (color) to b&w was an excellent idea. A delight of atmosphere. Congrats!

Such wonderful lighting and composition. Excellent shot, 7/7. Happy New Year 2007.

 

Regards

The best out of the excellence. Angle of capture, tones and elegance. The square format works extremely well and the subject balance makes my eyes follow her body from the leg to her neck and up the arm where the light escapes. 7/7.

an excellent image !!

Awesome indeed.

Thanks for uploading the original... Yes, 6x6 works in this case. BTW, I also like the color of the original. Warm regards. -- Ray

Great top shot!!!...Saludos.
