paullink 1 Posted April 20, 2008 The sense of motion that the dress and the arms have, while body is decently still creates a vivid and passionate photo.Great colors.Regards Link to comment

cherlyn 1 Posted April 20, 2008 Lovely swirl of the skirt that shows speed & strength. Beautiful capture. Link to comment
j_m_lee_photography 0 Posted April 20, 2008 Pnina, Combining the mood with her dancing styles, this image has created the perfotmer with a whirlwind of beating music and flying feet and it leaves even the audience breathless. You have successfully capture the spirit of the dancer. Link to comment
dseltzer 0 Posted April 20, 2008 No surprise that you've pressed the shutter at precisely the best moment. The movement is, of course, wonderful, and I also like the softness of the lighting, as well as the bg having texture and adding depth and interest it would not if you'd taken it to black. I like this image very much. Link to comment
Donna Stavis 0 Posted April 21, 2008 From cold purple, rising to hot pink, to burnt orange, from bottom up --everything heats up in this captured moment of swirling colors and dramatic light. The treatment for soft arms and silky gown make for a capture that is deeply feminine, dramatic, powerful. Link to comment
aginbyte 0 Posted April 21, 2008 ... the motion, the rhythm, color and even the music, Pnina. I love the grain you get from shooting the high iso in the low light as well, it ties together all the different elements of the shot. Great job. Link to comment
laurent_jaussi 0 Posted April 21, 2008 Light, colors, attitude and movement...what a geat scenic moment captured Pnina...I enjoy it very much, especially since I don't have a lot of occasion to go to the theater...so thanks also for that... Link to comment
joe-tury 0 Posted April 21, 2008 Very graceful. Nearly the perfect shutter speed. I think what sets this apart from some of your other motion shots are the wonderful colours. You seem to have a lot of fun with these. Nice! Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted April 21, 2008 Ton, for your nice feedback Katerin, for your visit and comment George, I'm glad you have a favorite.... J, for visiting and nice comment Cherlyn and Spencer my friends, always nice to read your evaluation, the spirit of the dance is a beautiful definition, David, thanks for your nice evaluation. On my monitor the BG is nearly black, I think that it can be a difference looking at different monitors. Donna, your style of writing and evaluating is always so well expressed! Dennis, even I photo with RAW and lower the grain, some of it rest, thanks for thinking it adds to the whole. Adela, thanks for the passion definition, yes it is! Laurent, glad you enjoy it and it gives you a clue, of what it is realy on the stage Joe, thanks for your evaluation, graceful it is and special colors as well. Thanks again to all of you for your written feedback, very much appreciated. Link to comment
aginbyte 0 Posted April 21, 2008 ... the background is a dark burgundy with horizontal curtain patterns on the left and more or less flat wall on the right. There is a tight noise pattern throughout the background that blends in with the noise on the dancer. It appears that you used unsharp masking on the image, which perhaps was not needed, since the movement is so much a part of the shot. Link to comment
jmcconnell2 0 Posted April 21, 2008 Very dynamic! The colors just pop you in the eye, I LOVE it! Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted April 21, 2008 Dennis, thanks for telling me,on mine it is nearly dark BG, I will check the RAW file and see, maybe work on it again.... Jim, thanks for liking and commenting . Link to comment
richard hans 0 Posted April 21, 2008 Incredible play of exposure for fascinating Rhythm, Pnina, I can feel it!!! Best regards Link to comment
gordonjb 10,860 Posted April 21, 2008 You are the consummate master of dance photography. The perfect amount of motion and stillness to give me the sense of the flow of the dancer and still have some degree of sharpness. The interplay between the blurred skirt and the womens body makes for a strong composition. I agree with Dennis that the grain you get from your style of dance shooting often adds to the image. In many instances, such as this photo, it helps to soften the tones and render a pastel look to the colours. Link to comment
