the happy prince- play/dance- oscar wilde .....The Dying Swallow.... (Please see large)

Beautiful! I also got the impression in the thumbnail of the bird being under water. Enjoyed very much reading the story and the dancer embodies the spirit of the bird who gave everything to his friend.

Thanks, I wish you could see the choreography,so very special!

I did not have time to read your link, but I loosely remember the story.  But this image stands alone without the story......it's lovely.  I know it's snow, but when I first viewed this I thought it looked like she was melting into a pool of water...a cool effect.  It's a lovely coloration with the sparkles of white 'snow' throughout.   

Thanks for your nice feedback  I think that this is one of my favorites of this dance . it is a great work  of the  art of the dance.I wish  all my friends could see it.....;-))

A beautiful photo and graceful moment captured, Pnina. The overall colors are great and her pose is very photogenic and perfectly placed in the frame... I agree with Gordon about the lower silver part of the stage being a bit distracting. Without it, the feeling of her dying ('drowning / sinking') seems so much greater....

I agree with you about the stage line, and therfor is the second version....;-)). I will travel next  month to Greece to visit a friend and travel with her to Meteora., Delphi and the surrounding.So I will take a break From PN... (after nearly 11 years I really  need it....)

Thanks Marjolein.I'm glad you have a nice summer .See you in the future.

This is my favorite picture from the series..I am glad that you pointed it out, because I missed it as I was away at the time and my access to the internet was very sporadic. There is nothing that I can add to the comments above which I sincerely underline. I do prefer your second version though without the bottom triangle.

Warm regards,

Dimitris.
