Alvin Ailey 2 competition DSC01138aw

I have enjoyed seeing your dance series, being an old dance lighting person and arts presenter. This is a nice shot color wise and lighting wise. The only issue I am having is with her arm. It may be the lighting, or maybe it really is the shape, but it seems disproportionately long and thin. Still this is a nice shot that captures the shape and line of the dance.

Thanks Charles-  She is really thin, and it may be the position of her arm that gives that impression- of course, compared to the guy's arms, hers is quite delicate!

Gregory and Verena,  Both this image and the one next to it are terrific.  The color and light in both work well, and you did a great job keeping the background and stage black.  What's the trick in that?   Larry

Thanks, Larry-   The light was pretty focused on the dancers and the bg was indeed black cloth. I might have increased blacks in levels a tad to smooth it all out. I was about mid-audience taking this (you can see somebody's head shadow in lower right quarter.)
