Water Dance

This is from an artistic performance at a local park.

I purposely shot without looking through the viewfinder, autofocused

for moving subjects with a 1/10th shutter with an aperture of 6.3

I had no idea what I was going to get, but I kinda dig the movement.

I try my hardest to not obey all of the photographic rules except

composition. I would like to see what others think of this photo,

being basically a lucky or unlucky shot.

Heidi, excellent capture - the good thing here is the captive of the event by virtue of those motion and maintaining a reasonable freeze of the subject (the dancer in red) nicely placed underneath the green brouse. I don't play too much significance to composition rule neither but the part-head of the green dancer does bother me a little, imo might as well crop to the neck so that the eye can be drawn solely to the subject girl ? Just a thought. Otherwside, the image is very good indeed !

Love the sense of motions and the colors.

I love these picture, it's wonderful and amazing!!

 

Lo bello lo es por si mismo, no puedo añadir nada que haga que la foto se vea mejor, solo me hizo gritar !VIVA MEXICO!

very good use of shutterspeeed and I really love the perspective you`ve chosen...if the woman in front had her had not cropped of this would have been perfect

...i think this has perfect composition, no problem at all with the cropped head. I don't really like the way the colors came out, though. Especially the green. Try tweaking them, and then try this as a monochrome. Tons o' potential. cheers

Olé!

Wow, striking image. It's rare to capture such a complex and interesting composition in a split-second action scene. I agree that a little experimentation with color balance and saturation (or lack thereof) could pay off bigtime.

I love this photo. If you crop the green dancer about chest high she looks like a tornado, a metaphor to the movement and secondarily framing the yellow dancer. Very cool. Nice work.

I enjoy this photo. The movement is great. You could even play with it in photoshop.

Manipulate the image to allow the yellow dancer to be the focus.

I can't add anything to what's already been said. The composition is absolutely awesome. Get those colors at the right level and its a masterpiece in my opinion. Great work.

Yes - a crop to the central figure at her neckband would be perfect, leading your eye straight to the yellow dancer. An excellent picture!
