kids Dance Like No One is Watching

This was taken last summer in Calgary on the last day of the Calgary Stampede, at the Bownesian's Picnic. There were bands playing all afternoon and this little girl danced and danced. You see by the expression on her face that she was enjoying the music. I think she may have been born to dance. I shot this using continuous slow, then combined the images in Photoshop. Please see larger.

Thanks for looking!

great picture, so lively  and pleasant to see. Cheers, Art :)

Hi Linda, Really nice work in PS. What I like best about this type of photo is the childs total lack of inhibition. Really nice. Take care.

BR,

Holger

Love it! It's the kind of photo that raises an involuntary smile : - )  Joy epitomised and digitally captured! I particularly like the "tongue out" classic pose.......as witnessed by anyone thats ever seen me dance before : - )

Dellightful work Linda!

Best Regards

Alf

I absolutely love this! There is nothing like the joy and freedom that a child exhibits to make one smile! I love how her dress picks up on the colors of the green grass and very blue sky; her blonde hair and the white wisps of clouds just further tie into the feeling of innocence. Great work Linda; I enjoy this one so much and I wish I knew how to combine photos like this. Very well done! Thank you for sharing this and making me smile. :)

very good work...congrats

Interesting result of your work here,plenty of joy,will be nice when she will see this after twenty years,compliments.

Marvelous work! ...the best pov and exposure(s)

very well done

:-) Perfecto trabajo, 7, Saludos

Brilliant image Linda! took me a while to realize it's a composite of the same little girl (I am slow :-) )  and the presentation is so wonderful, the actress is so adorable. Love it! TFS!

My first impression was, that how it can happen that all girls so identical... well, thanks for your time and little bit PS work, and now you have excellent work, that is enjoyable... 

Beyond charming, the lighting really enhances this image. Very well done indeed! Best regards, Linh Dinh

Linda,

  Wow....wonderful creative image with beautiful colors & lighting.  Take care, Patsy

Linda.Lovely work ,showing the joy & motion of this free spirited girl. Very creative using 5 appearances  against a simple sky & grass.    John

Holger, that is what I loved about this little girl, being in the moment and joyfully enjoying uninhibited self-expression.

Alf, you make me laugh! I would love to see you dance and I would be more than happy to photograph the event.

Yes, I have photoshop elements 7. I would really appreciate knowing how to do this so thank you for your offer. I may not get it at first, but I'd really like to give it a try. Thanks! :)

I will e-mail you.

Great capture, Linda! Warm regards.

Good work Linda. This is a fun shot. You did a good job artistically and technically. The colors make a bright splash in my gray matter (that's good).
