...And the Shadow...

.... and the Shadow.... Thanks, Pnina

Thanks.

What a fantastic conception and a beautiful shot. Very nice.

Interesting concept, but you didnt want to bend your knees?

What can I add that the image does not say.

 

Beautiful.

I like the low saturation, Pnina - the shadows are vaguely spectral and tell a stronger story of the light than the dancer. Perhaps it is in the shadows, the play on the wall, that our imagination has its focus & from which it "reads" reality.

Cool shot, Pnina. I like the relative positioning of the woman and her shadow, with the emphasis of giving the shadow the full frame, and the woman less than half, with an abrupt crop above the waist. The monochrome colours and light are good too.

 

Best, Jeremy

Mark, thanks for stopping by and liking the concept.

 

Daily, No. did not bend my knees... If I would have, the shadow will "escape" the frame ;-)) and I wanted him to stay ...lol

 

Marco, so nice to meet you here, thanks for all your feedback !

 

Seven, always interesting to read your literate interpretation .

 

Jeremy, long time... thanks for showing up again, glad to read and see you !

 

Thanks to all of you, helpful to read your points of view. Pnina

 

 

I second Seven. It reminds me the Plato's shadows on the cave wall. Or it looks rather like a protective ghost of the dancer, her inspiration... For me it is always the biggest achievement for a photographer when he or she goes beyond the reality and touches the world of ideas. What more can I say, I am lost in admiration.

Pnina, ... and keep the shadow of course. The result should be a bit more of her and a bit space above the shadow.

A great "apparition" you've captured here Pnina! Very well seen! The manner in which the shadow is "framed in a "doorway" seems to make the "shadow composition" complete and thus the primary subject of the photograph instead of the clearer foreground subject! Very well done again!!! Regards, Kelvin.

I am back my friend, and ofcourse I wanted to go to see what is happening, and I am almost always happy to see something what feeds my mind, you did it again dear PN ina, I simply love it

The shadow is great, I think is the extra touch of the pic Pnina.

 

I see you continue to the dance image, nice work.

 

Michal, for your kind words.

 

Daily, my intenstion was the shadow, so I have aimed that her part will be the smaller.Thanks for your remark.

 

Kelvin, thanks for your support

 

Elsi, welcome back, I hope it was a good vacation of love!

 

Gustavo, yes I continue with dance, but not only... thanks about the shadow remark, it was my intension.

 

Thanks to all of you

Excellent photograph, Pnina. The light, shadows and colors are great. Interesting composition and expression. Good shot! Best regards

Yes, love the splendid composition, unusual lighting & shadows play, another terrific execution, Pnina!!! Best regards.

Interesting observations. I too agree with Seven. The crop here actually adds to the enigma. Perfect framing Pnina.

David O @ David R and Richard, thanks for your feedback.

 

David R. I hope you will read my explanation in " portrait and 2/3".

I agree with you and Seven and others that the shadow is the main " actor" and now you will understand why...

Original impressive image Pnina,congrats

 

Regards Shuki

The Shadow, playing the major part here, attracting my attention. Unreal...real... intersede very well in this image.

Spectacular composition and capture,Pnina. You are adept in handling light and shadow.I feel imagination is bigger than life.

So simple and yet so beautiful story telling shot. Great one.

Very effective, Pnina. The shadow conveys the impression she is rising from the ground.

the shadow makes the pic for me. well done, Pnina.

This one is much to my liking. Is that her shadow? If it is, it seems more imposing, collected and balanced than the lady who casts it
