dance/focus,life as a dance, stage shows 1 Pain and Love ( please see large)

Love and Compassion. Thanks for your thoughts. here

Please read comment, thanks.

Really beautiful work again, Pnina!

Another good one, Pnina. Bravo, well done!

As usual, "I saw" you before opening... My problem to comment your images, is that very often I feel afraid of repeating myself. They are all so good... Even if you don't give too much importance to ratings (like me), I hope that my ratings will transmit what I think. Summing up, this one is a masterpiece. Personally, I would consider to give some more empty space on the right. That's a question of taste only. Have a nice day and regards.

A masterpiece,Pnina. You have captured a moment of classical appeal & beauty. The figures are glowing in the sidelight.

Perfect moments for a shot ! very well composed. Regards.

Initially, I thought, "Why didn't Pnina clone out the darkened dancer at the top." And then I thought about how pain and love don't occur in a vacuum, as much as young lovers would like to believe. Our emotional experiences are universal and are connected to a wider audience of people who share the good and bad and who are affected by it.

Superb light and beautiful composition. Your dance shots are really special.

Ruud and Vladut, thanks both of you.

 

Armindo. Thanks , I appreciate both, but your comments, and feeling expressed ,are important.

 

Thinh, thanks for your visit and comment.

 

Jeff, in the group there are two dancers that for me portray the general parenthood that has to deal and support with a tough situation ( and I have a friend that deals with it in real life) .The figure on the back as you will see in the next uploads is the general "father"and therefor part of the scene. And as you have said so well:

"Our emotional experiences are universal and are connected to a wider audience of people who share the good and bad and who are affected by it."

 

Teresa, thanks for connecting to it.

 

Beautifully taken! Wonderful show of light and emotion Pnina.

Que bella cercania.

Saludos.

Very well captured, excellent light and tones. Warm regards. Glauco. 7/7 anon.

Wonderful! Best regards.

wonderful lighting and I love the shine on the floors - very very nice

Again, an emotive scene under good exposure & light.

Lovely picture in terms of technique and composition. Very low noise but sharp with lots of detail. Also, Love and Pain is what I can l see when I look at your picture.

Excelente toma y magnifico momento captado,de gran expresividad y sentimiento,con una sensacional luz y tonos.7/7.Anon.

 

Un cordial saludo -Tolo.

A strong scene that in my opinion depicts love and support. One should cherish the company of loved ones and friends, especially in times of need. Not everybody has a shoulder to cry on. The guy in the background reminds me of those who have to "fend" for themselves.

Pnina, I purposely abstained from reading other comments on this one so they wouldn't affect my first impressions of it. My first impression was that of Jeff's, get rid of the guy in the background. If the photo is to be displayed with nothing more than the title I feel that is a valid decision. If the full context of the dance will always be posted with the photo then perhaps he could be left in. I offer my amature PS solution. Merges including the main subject are usually undesireable as they are distracting. 'Masterpiece' is a bit of stretch for me (unititiated in the arts) but I will admit to 'Darned Fine Work'. Always an education and a visual treat to visit your folders. Best, LM.

Andrea,Rueda,Glauco, Linh,PNF, Cherlyn,Hussein, Tolo,Adan and Len, I appreciate you feedback.

 

Len, thanks especially for taking the time, It is a possibility for sure., But first, let me explain, it is not a merge, it is the scene as was photographed on the stage. as I have written to Jeff, adding the next photos will make it clearer that the figure behind is part of the ' family" like a general " father", and therefor , for me part of the scene. I upload another version of this scene that is already used by the group, with the same figure in the BG. Another point is the diagonal line the trio is creating , which I think augments the tension of the whole.

 

Thanks Len, Very much appreciated.

 

 

I think I need to explain my earlier comment. What I meant by 'classical' is "Classical unities" of time, place and action.Life,Love, Pain and Death are intertwined These have been main ingredients of classical literature and art. Classical art dates back to the Roman/Greek Classics in the West and Ramayana & Mahabharata in the East. It is art based on specific parameters for proportion and beauty unlike modern art which has no real standard. Pnina's background in Art, lends a classical touch of colours and figures. However,"Love and death conspire towards one great end" and results in pain. I hope I should not be misunderstood.

I have understood you before, I know what classical means ,but thanks for a nice explanation !

Beautiful shot, Pnina. I particularly like the space you left around the protagonists, and the figure in the background that adds to the story.

Another excellent capture, Pnina. Len's suggestion is great. Very nice scene. Regards!
