Folk Dancer

Zeeshan, I really like this one, it brings together the performer and the audience nicely. I particularly your capture of her motion while still getting the stillness of her face. The parts I find distracting are the trees in back and the pole in the background on the far left.

What an excellent image. My main criticism of your pictures is there is often a wealth of detail, sometimes too much so, which makes your images a little "busy" and hard to focus on. In the case of this photo the dancer's head, the main point of focus, is clear and well situated to dominate the composition. The rest of the image emerges from her swirling skirt, almost as if she were a goddess giving birth to the phenominal world.

Thanks Jack, that would be really helpful.

 

Thanks Amar.

Great documentary photo. Excellent compo and movement capture. ++ r.

Thanks all! What I believe as a photographer is that art and documentation are manifestations of the person behind the camera. What is art to one is anti-art to another. Art is perspective, everyone has one for art.

although it's debatetable that whether this shot is artistic or just an documentation , all i 'll say that it's the vision of transformation from photographers mind and what he saw through his eyes.and zeeshan u have done amazing work on this shot . although the upper part is slightly out of focus and looks slightly blurry this one looks great.

 

 

the swing of her skirt and at the same time steady head all count it to be a great shot. keep up the good work-

 

cheers

Apurba, when you say transformation, blur, sharpness, anti-focus, and anti-composition become an integral part of the transformation of a visual.
