The Dancing Shoes

Thx for all your comments. Regards PK.

Nice colors. I might of added some more light to the backdrop but otherwise I love the emotional aspect of the shoes, dancing and the dirt.

Rewelka ! It`s really good shot !

very nice shot,excellent.

Incredible image. Extremely well done.

Excellent picture although I find it a bit disturbing...

What is disturbing about this picture ?

no comments.. sorry

What's disturbing? Well, saying that I didn't mean anything negative , just at first sight the legs appeared to be dead,covered in dirt and blood(?)as it seemed. But when I looked at it again I noticed that the dancer is actually sitting and not being dragged as I thought :-) I guess I didn't pay too much attention the first time I looked... (hope my explanation makes any sense)

I agree, but I see that as a strength as well. The pose of the dancer isn't clear, although we know her feet are not supporting here weight. The green seems a little bit much, but the message, for me, is very clearly about the pain and hard work of a dancer's life.

 

7/6

I like that you picjed the fact - pain and hard work, that was the very close discription of the aim I was tring to get. Finally , I did not get to close to the destination point , I thought . But your pick is giving me hope I was not that far from it. Regards PK.

Great colors, inspiring shot. Kudos!

To me it is a very dramatic photo, the dancer seems to be almost sitting on her pointed toes, the muscles are taut, it is as if she is near the point of exhaustion. The lighting is beautiful.

 

a very compelling photo...

Piotr, you have captured the theme beautifully. The texture and detail of the shoes are very good and give the impression of bandages to heal the pain.

Again, a photo full of emotion.. Maybe it requires some time to see what it really represents but I think that makes this piece of art a very special one. Good work!

"Maybe it requires some time to see what it really represents" - I was a bit affraid of that.

Pitor,

 

I think that your vision comes across quite clearly. The beauty of ballet is a facade, an illusion made possible by the hard work and sacrifices that the dancers make. This theme is well captured in paintings, yet never as poignently before (that I have seen) in photography. If you have to "work" at seeing the photograph a little, it only makes it more compelling, intriguing, artfull.

This image touches me so deeply because it speaks of the darkness that prevails in the Ballet world. Having studied Ballet for 10 years I became very acquainted to the negative psychology associated with it. The colors, textures and the mood of this are so powerful!

I value you opionion very much. I guess you are the first who has so much personally to do with the subject. Regards PK.

This picture is almost like an oil painting. Colors and lighting are almost unreal. The subject is unusual, thats why people look closer when they first see it (like me) and this makes it great.

A very good shot, congratulations on the TDP comp. I love the tonal ranges you get in your shots!

thank you :)
