pth-webdev 0 Posted November 7, 2007 Strong statement through the posture. The title fits the image One detail though, both feet should have been well inside the frame. Link to comment
rogerleekam 0 Posted November 7, 2007 Another very good dance study. Gives the impression that the girl is learning something from the dancer. Nice light. Link to comment
vetterhome1 0 Posted November 7, 2007 Its great: the movement is well shown - the concentration is clear. A little less on the right ? BR Joerg Link to comment
adan1 0 Posted November 7, 2007 Captivating composition with perfect lighting showing the dancer's graceful posture and attention. Link to comment
amalsircar 2 Posted November 8, 2007 Excellent balanced composition,light and exposure,Pnina. Hope your exhibition is a roaring success. Link to comment
jan_piller 0 Posted November 8, 2007 This is lovely. It has wonderful mood and it's interesting to see her holding such beautiful form. A nice capture! Link to comment
Donna Stavis 0 Posted November 9, 2007 Fun idea of a photo of a dance that serves as an opening to a photo exhibit of dance, and in this photo, a dancer is observing a dance. Quite clever, Pnina. Good perspective Link to comment
jcpopper 0 Posted November 10, 2007 pnina: Your dance shots -- performance,rehearsal, and class -- always capture special moments. Regards... Link to comment
dennis jones 0 Posted November 10, 2007 good title and good capture..... Other than changing the composition, not much that I'd change...I'd like to have seen not only her foot in the frame, but the other dancers... Link to comment
wogears 186 Posted November 10, 2007 All right. I was just curious what she might look like without the other dancer. I make no claim for improvement here, just a different look. Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted November 10, 2007 Thanks to all of you for expressing your point of view. Dennis, observing many well known photography artist, I learned, that rules are there, and sometime are broken, if it serves the aim of the image.In the dance world, dancers on stage while performing are coming in and going out of the scene all the time, so I think that the" cut"leg of the dancer in this photo has merit. The seating dancer with her leg a bit on the frame, could be better in the frame, but in my opinion it is not hurting the image . Les, glad to see you here, Thanks for trying, but I think that by eliminating the dancer which is starting her exit from the scene, the significance of the image is lost..... Link to comment
alberto_quintal 2 Posted November 11, 2007 What composition, I love it, great colors and work, Pnina, 7/7 Best regards. Alberto Link to comment
blackdogstudio 1 Posted November 14, 2007 The contrast of moving and still figures, the framing by the walls and floor... And that exquisite woman in the foreground make this a stunning capture, my dear friend!!! Regards. Link to comment
jefvandenhoute 0 Posted November 14, 2007 Strong composition trough the contrast between the sitting girls and the mouvement of the dancer. You really created a strong tension here. Link to comment
LenMarriott 9 Posted December 26, 2007 Pnina, One of my favourites of your dance series. I tend to agree with Eddy and Dennis on the matter of the cut off foot. You defend the breaking of the 'rules' well, and I agree, there are times when that is both desirable and necessary (I just don't agree that this is one of those times) but my bet is the next time you face a similar situation you will be thinking about keeping major elements away from the frame edge. That said, 'getting the shot' is the most important thing and you, as you usually do, captured a moment very nicely. We're talking here about raising the quality of an already good shot, not making a bad shot better. Hope to see more from you in 2008. Happy New Year! Best, LM. Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted December 26, 2007 Len, thanks for your visit, evaluation , point of view, and wishes.The nice thing is that after uploading a photo, it has its own life, the photographer's intention is important BUT, each of the viewers will give it his/her own interpretation, and photographic evaluation. I agree about the lower foot, was better if it was not touching the frame, but I wanted the other dancer exit from the image..( stage), and therefor "cut" her in the upper and L side. I have uploaded another photo which is called " solo red", there I did the same thing, so you have an assignment now...;-))( please) and tell me if you can accept the break of the rule there... here Link to comment
armindo_lopes 1 Posted January 6, 2008 Even considering that I am a pro rule man, I have enough flexibility to accept your statement about broken rules in some cases like you said. Meanwhile, and forgetting the rules, in this particular image, I prefer the standing alone dancer. Just a question of personal taste. To me, it enhances the sitting dancer. By the way, a beautiful image. Regards. Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted January 6, 2008 ARMINDO!! I'm still laughing! this is hilarious ( not your comment of course, but your email! ) Thanks for your nice comment and visit, glad to see and read you here. Thanks as well for liking, each with his own taste and prefference..... Best wishes! Link to comment
