Belly Dancers in Blue

Comments, ratings, critiques are welcome. Thanks for looking.

Love the color, composition, and sense of motion. A very nice shot, Linda! Warm regards...

Thank you! Glad to hear you like it. It was the whirling shades of blue that appealed to me.

 

 

Great motion and energy!

I am attracted by the graceful swing and motion. Nice capture!!

Beautiful work. I like the dancing blue colors very much:)

These women almost remind me of glistening mermaids. Another Vegas shot? I'm glad what happened in Vegas didn't stay in Vegas.

I didn't see mermaids in this before your comment, I can see them now. This was taken here in Riverside Park in Kamloops. A group of young moms do this to keep in shape and have fun.

Love the splashes of color and the feel here! Nice one!

 

Lou Ann,Inger, Spencer, Doug,

 

Thank you all so much for taking the time to look and comment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Composition, light and colours are great!

Great blue, great motion, great composition. The relationships, the hands, two skirts becoming one, the dance, hair flying, very naturally captured and presented.

 

Did you intentionally catch them as they were facing away? That certainly suggests a different mood and draw than had you caught their faces and gazes.

 

Really well done.

 

 

Kelvin, thanks for commenting.

 

 

Fred, it's good to hear from you. Thanks for your thoughts, I really appreciate it.

 

I took quite a few shots that day. Some had full faces showing and some not. What attracted my eye was the colour and movement in the swirling blue skirts and the way they caught the light. In this shot I also liked the way the women's hair was swinging and swirling around, sort of repeating the movement of the skirts. It was all about the colour and movement. When I was watching them dance I found it almost hypnotic. The faces were secondary to me here.

 

Warm regards.

 

 

 

 

Thanks for the comment. I think it does add a degree of mystery which I always think dance contains. The way the two figures harmonize is what keeps grabbing me.

Impressive colors!

Thank you for your interest in my work. It is always nice to know that my images are enjoyed.

 

I also appreciate that you are trying to be upfront and honest about taking my image without permission. If you are a working artist who is showing your work then you must be well aware of the concept of plagerism. It is not a matter of not being able to resist taking it. That is theft. I have looked at your site and have seen the painting. It is not a real painting though, you have copied or traced my image exactly. I fit one on top of the other and found an exact match!

 

If you wish to use my image you will have to compensate me. I do not want to talk about this in a public forum. So, I will e-mail you.
