the look and the watcher IMG_3721Aw

The dancer alone would make a nice image, but it is the combination of the dancer and the "watcher" that really makes this special.

The prim deilcate poise, lines and expression from the dancer, contrasts sharply with the more stoic expression and folded arms of the watcher. One might even suspect an element of jealousy : - )

Sincere Compliments!

Thanks so much, Alec and Alf,

This is a young girl - around 17 I believe, who is very talented. This was a demonstration in a farmer's market on a cold day in Oct., in attempt to bring ballet (there were other arts as well) to the public. The onlooker had most likely never experienced this art.

Glad you appreciated it.

This indeed is a good story telling image.  If I might suggest improvement, showing less of the pickup truck and more of what must have been the looker's space on the right might help the composition, as would greater depth of field.
