jefvandenhoute 0 Posted March 19, 2008 Great capture of this dance mouvement. Strong light Link to comment
gordonjb 10,860 Posted March 21, 2008 Another fine addition to the series.What I like most about your capture in this case is the effect of the four legs and one arm on the floor. I do not see this so much as a women holding up a man as to the pair becoming a different creature altogether by combining into one form. As with the others in this series the lighting works very well, again the reflections on the floor fill out and add to the composition. The lighting director for this performance must have been very good... and of course the photographer also :) Giving thought to David Seltzer's comment, it is interesting that we as an audience to your photos, but not having been audience to the entire dance, are left reading much into little.

kirk d 0 Posted March 21, 2008 Great point of the dance you captured. You are putting that slow shutter to good use as well. She must be a fairly strong woman, as she is supporting quite a bit of his weight; usually it is the other way around with the man supporting the woman. The lighting is excellent and you have captured their scream well. Kirk Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted March 22, 2008 Gord,Interesting point about them being one!Thanks for a nice evaluation. I'm aware as well that it is only a part of the dance, but the truth is that it was a part also in the show, and I take only what I connect to. If I will photo it again I will try to add more of the scenes. Kirk, sometimes it is vice versa.....Thanks for yournice evaluation especially about the light. Link to comment
blackdogstudio 1 Posted March 23, 2008 Really love the movement and expressiveness of this piece. You've done a fantastic job of salvaging this one from so far away. The use of the surrounding darkness to frame the piece works exceedingly well, as does the focused light. Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted March 23, 2008 Kelvin, my friend, thanks for your good and helpful evaluation on all of them! It was very good on the other one, helped my decision...;-)) Link to comment
kirk d 0 Posted March 23, 2008 You're right Pnina, and it is more often than not they do. I hate when I use cliche's. Thanks, Kirk Link to comment
gerfoy3 0 Posted March 25, 2008 Wonderful sense of movement in this, exposure is excellent. It almost come across as evil, is it supposed to be? Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted March 25, 2008 Thanks. Ger, this is my interpretation... "life as a dance", but it is life first.... Link to comment
carsten_ranke 0 Posted May 18, 2008 I dont know much about dance, but from an aesthetic viewpoint this photo is very well done. The dancers` pose and your choice of placement makes for a well balanced composition, and the lines cross the corners. Not sure about color, maybe I would prefer a B&W Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted May 18, 2008 Thanks for taking the time. I think that you yourself have some nice dance scene ;- )) I liked that series because I saw human life here.I try to convert many of my dance photos, but many as well I upload at last in colors, because colors are part of the show. Here is a b/w version, do you think it is better? Link to comment
carsten_ranke 0 Posted May 19, 2008 Yes, Pnina, I would prefer the B&W. Because I think that color looks kind of mundane and deflects, adds nothing Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted May 20, 2008 Thanks again Carsten, I will consider.... ;-)) (btw, look at my last dance from Madrid, they are in b/w.) Link to comment
