Thanks for viewing.

Pnina, knowing you, I knew there had to be some dance pictures sooner or later. Did you take this during a performance or did you have special access to the dancers. Whatever case, it's an exceptionally good picture and a dynamic composition. Your signature is doing yeoman duty as a counterweight to balance the weight of the dancers.

The composition is very strong and original. The light and tones make this image attractive. Excellent moment and presentation of the scene. Regards.

Jack, I have photographed  while in the show. As I don't use flash and we were seating in a box 4th floor (first row)with my 70-200 mm lens, I could photo without disturbing the others.( and without asking permission...;-)).My signature in all of them, is because many of my photos were taken out....I try to do it right with the composition.

Thanks for reffering to all of them, it was a 2 hours performance.. so I have had enough time.

Gunnar,I'm glad you liked it as well.

Just magnificent.   Beautiful composition.   I love that little bit of movement of her foot.   

Pnina, superb composition and control of light & exposure. Your lofty perch gave you lot of advantage in shooting these excellent images. Mazel tov:-)

Thanks both of you for all your comments and feedback, which  I appreciate much. It was a very rewarding show and  yes Amal , especially my place in the box....;-))

Luxurious, elegant and bewitching.  Bravo!

It is so yours, even as a thumbnail!
