Occhi Turchini dancers

From the Les Suds a Arles festival. What do you think?

Anyone who can't feel the energy and joy you've captured here is probably dead.

Like a painting although sharp enough to be obvious that it's just a photo and not manipulated! But, the colors, the dresses, the waving hair, the colors, the background...it all makes it painting like! Which is a compliment!

I've come back to view this again and again. So filled with life, such fine color and composition. I have to upgrade my rating on an image that stays with me this long.

Thanks for your kind comments, both of you. The girl is really frightfully beautiful. If I see her again, I maybe dare to ask her to sit model :-)

Yes, she is very beautiful, but it's the joy and energy you captured in this entire series that makes it so special. I come back to study it often. And this is one of my favorite shots posted this year. Warm regards, Joe
