davidorea 1 Posted September 3, 2009 Superb capture, Pnina. This scene seems to be the narration of the films history. The light and the b/w-color combination are great. Excellent work! Warm regards! Link to comment
amalsircar 2 Posted September 4, 2009 Pnina, you have embarked on a nostalgic journey. Is he directing a play? Composition,exposure, light and contrast are very good.I could recognize Elvis. Who is the other lady in naval costume? Link to comment
Donna Stavis 0 Posted September 4, 2009 I think I see a scene from "West Side Story" up on the right. The man is almost like another piece of equipment in the room, a bit less dynamic than the stars on the walls. Link to comment
tibig 0 Posted September 4, 2009 Excellent picture, evocative and stylish. Yes, film as such has passed away, so did video tape for the matter of fact too. Media itself changes but good works of art stay.Regards, Tibi Link to comment

luis.miro 0 Posted September 5, 2009 Great "motion picture shot" Pnina! I love the lighting mixing the b&w and color effects. Kind regards, Luis Link to comment
timzeipekis 5 Posted September 6, 2009 Love the light, great contrast! Very energetic scene, I love it! Link to comment
Jack McRitchie 150 Posted September 6, 2009 Absolutely perfectly exposed and framed. It's as if all the spotlighted items were hanging in the void. I presume this is a scene from a play or dance. Link to comment
LenMarriott 9 Posted September 7, 2009 Jay Maisel would be pleased, the subject providing the 'gesture' he so prizes. The 'movie' lighting is reminiscent of the 30's and 40's leaving no doubt as to who the subject is. The photo of Elvis is a nice touch and the girl, if I'm not mistaken, is Ginger Rogers, the famous dancing partner of Fred Astaire. See? I've not led a totally sheltered life! :-) Best, LM.

jeffl7 0 Posted September 7, 2009 I like how the man is spotlit by the reflected glory of the famous around him. An interesting composition. Your dance photos make me want to move, but this one makes me want to think. Link to comment

Christal1664882414 0 Posted September 9, 2009 A beautiful classical photograph with a real vintage feel to it. You've handled the balance of tones masterfully. I love this! Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted September 10, 2009 All of you! it is a part of a dance . The history of cinema dance with live modern one. choreographer :Sally Ann Friedland I have a series of moments , which I will upload some more later on. Len I googled to know who is Jay Maisel... thanks for the name, interesting photographer. Jeff, the past of the different ways of creating , is always accompanying us....;-)) Thanks again to all of you. Link to comment
kirk d 0 Posted September 11, 2009 This portrait really portrays a man that loves and is excited about film, and the lighting really adds a brightness and life to his emotion and the importance and "Up in Lights" that old movies used to be. I like the black and white or lack of color here that seems natural and unedited like the old film that once played. Excellent work. Kirk Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted September 12, 2009 I'm back for a brief sojourn. I like this a lot. I honestly wasn't sure if the man was a mannequin or real. I thought for awhile that he was a mannequin and the entire scene was a set like a museum. But, strangely, it worked that way for me quite well. The mix of mostly monochrome with flesh tones is a nice outcome. Cheers. Link to comment
rogerleekam 0 Posted September 12, 2009 Pnina, a great shot full of humor and atmosphere. Particularly strong is the lighting against the dark surround with the small areas of hard white. I can almost hear what he's saying. Very enjoyable! Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted September 12, 2009 Vladimir Thanks Kirk, nice to see you again after a long absence, Thanks for a nice writing of your impressions, very much appreciated. Dave, you as well.... Glad to see you even for a short time. I know you are busy. It is a real man ( the story teller in the dance). We are living with the beauty of the past well known musicals, and are creating the modern versions.... Roger, liked your last birds works. Thanks for your nice impression glad that you have enjoyed the story/history of this one. Link to comment
