Flexy Drama (RR)

John, thanks for stopping in. I greatly appreciate it. This is one of my favourites too.

Thanks again, and I will definitely stopping in again and look at your newest submissions.

Amar, Amar, Amar--

What can I say?! This is breathtaking--simply breathtaking! I enjoy all of your images--but it seems to me that you've a special affinity for these dance photos--they simply *sing* with energy and life. And yes, of course part of that is the marvelous dancer(s?) you've used--but plenty of people take uninspiring images of fantastic dancers--so I don't think I'm overstating this.

I love the way you emphasize the gesture and the drama of each moment, in the long shots--by creating a dark background (ah, the magic of Photoshop! :-))--and then gently adjusting the colors until we're left with what is almost an abstraction...but not quite...

You've a fine hand with the camera--and an even more delicate touch with your post-processing--and it's a privilege and an honor to view your work. (Which work, incidentally, strikes me as very commercial! I do hope you're trying to market these dance images--they seem like exactly the sort of thing that young, artsy college students love to decorate their walls with--pictures that are sophisticated, and dynamic, and expressive of their own desire to conquer the world!)

Keep shooting--and keep sharing, Amar! :-)

Aurora, thank you so much for extremely kind words, and certainly given my respect for your work, they are very well appreciated. This is truly one of my personal favourites.

As you correctly surmised, I do/did have a grand affinity for this particular dance. However, I am looking to maybe focus more of my attention to other types of photography. Furthermore, I'd like to cover other types of dance. I have been saying that for ages of course, but something always comes up.

Anyway, stay tuned, another one is coming up soon in this vein of images.

Amar, very nicely done. I really like how this is composed and the use of the dark background.

This, and the other dance folder, contain some very pleasing shots.
