dance/ focus, reds... Music to Sadness....( please see larg)

Another scene from the bar of the Reds.....

 

Thanks for viewing and your impressions .

Thanks

Excellent shot Pnina. Very well exposed as usual. This shot certainly deserves better ratings than it has received so far. The image leaves wondering what happened to the lady. Now I want to see the play.

All the best,

Neil

The colours and lighting are lovely, particularly around the woman holding the organ whose pose is exquisite, static and delicate, conjoined with the one note of music. I associate organs with the street and with pathos. The woman on the floor seems almost an afterthought.

Hello Pnina! I can see two arts here on in this scenario and on the composition of this image, congratulations. 7/7 a.

... very good composition ...

Very very nice.

Neil, Donna, Joao Ahmet and Yann,

 

 

Neil, that is the reason I stopped rating, as I don't see it as a good index of telling me anything about light, shadow ,composition, feelings, exposure, post processing etc. subjects that defines a good or a bad photo..... Human words when they are well written are telling me much more as an evaluation of my work, and I learned a lot through these written feedbacks . 3's or 7's without referring to the given photo, are just numbers with no significance for me.I prefer writing my impressions to others as well .

 

 

Donna,there are so many scenes of human narrative, for me ,in this dance choreography. This one touched me not only as a part of a scene in the dance but as expressions of what music can express in human life, joy, as well as sadness ,or mood, and yes, pathos.

 

 

Joao, seeing two arts ..... Nice and thanks again.

 

 

Ahmet and Yann, I prefer your writing even in brief...

A threnody of the street. Poetic, tragic and possessed of much grace. The lighting of this play seems well suited to your personal style and vision.

Pnina, I agree entirely with you about ratings.

 

This image is well-composed. The glistening bars at the background, helps you to frame the protagonists of the play. Lighting is excellent. Exposure is very good. Music & pathos are enough to touch any soul.

I see this as the point where madness overtakes the person and fills her ears with an inner music that eclipses reality. The world becomes dark, and all that is left is that maddening music.

A moving tale and an exquisite image..lovely lighting and great composition...a very impressive photograph....My best...Marjorie

Very deep moment!...Ciaomau!

Beautiful work with very nice lighting, Pnina!

Pnina, are you going to organize an exhibition for this wonderful series of ballet shots?

It's well worth.

Gord, as usual, your comments have their beauty of expression and impression , thanks a lot.

Please let me know the meaning of the word " threnody".

 

Amal, you too my friend, thanks as well for your nice impression.

 

Jeff, I don't know but this photo made the comments poetic as the photo itself....thanks for an interesting impression well worded.

 

Marjorie, you too ;-))....Thanks for your feedback.

 

Maurizio and Ruud, thanks both for your nice comments.

 

Paula, thanks, at the end of this month it will be a year that I exhibited part of my dance photos in a very nice gallery. The beginning of the opening was a dance prepared especially for my exhibition , by the choreographer I work with the most.In 2009 I hope to exhibit again. Thanks for your feedback and encouragement.

A threnody is an ode or song of lamentation.

 

 

Here is the Wikipedia blurb:

 

"

A threnody is a song or hymn of mourning composed or performed as a memorial. (synonyms include dirge, coronach, lament, and elegy). The term originates from the Greek word threnoidia, from threnos (lament) + oide (song).

 

Examples of threnodies include Krzysztof Penderecki's Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima, Bright Sheng's Nanjing! Nanjing! and Lou Harrison's "Threnody for Carlos Chavez". Two classic jazz threnodies are I Remember Clifford, written to honour the memory of Clifford Brown and "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" written by Charles Mingus in memory of Lester Young. "

Beautiful exposure and well composed shot. The two reflecting bars framing the picture well, while the blank right side keeping a balance.

Another great shot my friend. When I look at this I think of the triumph of madness, don't ask me why. The two bars catching the reflected light frame this scene effectively. In some way it vaguely reminds me of film and this scene as a frame. The woman on top of the agonizing one appears to be mocking her and making fun of her misery. I can imagine how torturing the music must be to her ears - althought that might not be the case in reality.

Your proposal leaves a lot of space for everybody's individual interpretation. One and other depends on the personal point of view, mood and frame of mind at the very moment you get confronted with the image. It has certainly THE 'teasing effect' you wanted to create. With a biiig compliment and regards, El

Estupenda composicion y momento captado,con una excelente exposicion.7/7.Anon.

 

Un cordial saludo -Tolo.

Gord

Thanks a lot, this it an interesting word, thanks for the link! You are a great help in enlarging my vocabulary with special words;-)) (and this is aside from your wording in general!)

 

Sonali, thanks for your visit and writing your impressions.

 

Adan, the scene is part of a very poetic moment in the dance, I think that I like this choreography so much because it has many human moment translated to scenes of movement. Sally is the choreographer I like to work with very much , because we have a lot in common ,each in her own field of though.

 

El, thanks , you are right that each of us will interpret a photo differently. A photo after uploading has a life of its own, open to the viewers impressions. Thanks for following.

 

Tolo, thanks again for your feedback, I understand ,even though not every word, but in general I do.

Pnina, this is a stunning image. It is absolutly beautiful.

Superb capture, dear Pnina. Beautiful scene with an interesting atmosphere. Excellent composition, colors and light. Congrats!

Pnina:

 

Given the long list of comments, mine may be superfluous, but here goes, anyway.

 

I think the lighting and shadow of this shot really help to underscore the mood, which can be interpreted as ranging from somber to manic. The photograph has a great deal of emotion. Obviously, there are many contrasts between the two women - the long, flowing brown hair vs. the short wisp of red hair, the activity vs. the inactivity, etc. Also, I think the colors of the concertina help to make the whole thing work.

 

Congratulations on another work of art.

 

Shalom . . .
