Sufi Dervish dancers in Istanbul

Dervishes in Istanbul

Bill, I like the composition in this one. I don't have any experience shooting dance subjects, but I bet it can be difficult with them swirling around. The curve here is shouldered to the left, so here's one with some highlight levels. I will, of course, remove it if you object.

 

cheers,

Aaron

Thanks Aaron ... that's much better. I'm still learning about curves and what I like and don't like. I'll definitely adjust this one before I print.

Well composed Bill, nice in B/W. I like the punch Aaron gave it.Pnina

One thumb up for you for a wonderfully dynamic picture and one to Aaron for a truly good suggestion that improves the picture.

Whilst Aaron's version is quite possibly more acutely developed, I think that the duller exposure of the original provides for a more sympathetic sense of the mystical quality of the subject scene.

One of my favorites in your collection.

 

Best regards.
