Repetition...( Please see large)

The Group of DDC dancers( Dance Drama Company , Choreography: Sally Ann Friedland) . Thanks for your impressions.

Thanks

Original, well crafted image, very interesting compo..

Perhaps not a very aesthetic for dancers, but the picture is excellent. Greetings.

Great scene Pnina. Running through the critique forum without finding anything that could attract my attention I fell on this and stayed there and without great surprise you were the source.

Very well made.

is what I think of when looking at this image. As if a girl neatly aligned them and is now busy maybe with their clothing. I like a lot the tonal range and the reflection in the shiny floor.

Regards, Tibi

Very artistic and well composed shot. Great view in large. Rgds.

A peculiar garden of beautiful alien creatures... or pods of incubated aliens preparing to open.

 

 

They look like they are at the brink of coming to life... None to eager it seems to begin or perhaps they have an unpleasant mission ahead of them...

I like the anticipation that this still photo leaves me with (5, 4, 3, 2,... as the all rise to their feet.)

 

Nice capture. ~Sky

 

 

Regards! CL

What a delightfully eccentric and interesting shot. I presume they are dancers but the foreshortening gives them the look of newborn babies in a hospital maternity ward.

It will take seconds - then they will dance ? Great moment. BR Joerg

Quirky. Bizarre. A naked feel.

This is so very good Pnina. Enjoyable. 7/7a Take care

Pnina, capture of unusual choreography.The way their heads pop-up gives me an impression, as if they are coming alive after being guillotined.Interesting perspective,no doubt.

Truly a remarkable photo..quite fascinating....Regards

Jack's description is apt. There's almost a sense of being swaddled in their experience. It's a bit disorienting. I like the long poles in the back, which seem to stretch the world back out.

Vladimir Pep, and Christoph, thanks for your feedback.

 

 

Anders, it is a very nice compliment ! Thanks a lot really appreciate it.

 

Tibi, nice imagination you have ...;-)) Interesting impression.

 

Kaushik, thanks for your nice feedback

 

Sky, " incubated aliens preparing to open. " ...made me smile, nice to see you

 

Jack, dance usually, most of the time is abstract, this dance is stirring my imagination. Also yours ...( with your good one it is not very difficult ...;-))

 

Jorg, yes they will.... Thanks

 

Donna, the light colors of the dancing clothes do give the feeling of naked, it go's very well with the colored nets.Thanks for your comment.

 

Cynthia, thanks as well!

 

Amal, it looks that this one triggers very different impressions... Thanks for yours

 

Keith, thanks for liking it,a bit unusual angle.....

 

Jeff, thanks, we wrote simultaneously, I know that it is a bit an unusual angle, and a fraction of a second from a whole dance sentence, but it triggered my imagination, as I wrote to Jack....-))

Nicely lined up, their postures sychronised neatly. Very well exposed too.

When I first opened this image, like several colleagues who made similar observations, I didn't think that the subjects were persons. Because of the soft focus, especially on their faces, I thought they were mannequins, dolls, clay figures, computer-generated images, etc. It is amazing that, aside from being in essentially the same posture (at different stages), their faces show substantially the same expression. Is it concentration? Is it boredom? Is it devotion to their art?

 

I absolutely love this photograph. It should be on display in a museum, as a work of fine art.

I agree; a beautifully composed and original shot. I get the sense of the less spectacular elements that go into creating that final, beautiful and "looks-so-effortless" performance.

Their facial intensity speaks to the tireless effort in developing their craft. Very nice perspective, Pnina.

Excellent and quite original photograph, Pnina. The poses and expressions are unique. Very good shot! Congrats!

pods, cocoons, newborns......these dancers are on the cusp of some kind of transformation. i think it is this "pregnant" moment of expectation that makes this so exciting.

Pnina, I find this to be full of humor - in fact like something from a vintage comic movie. There is humor in their poses and their quite serious expressions which contrast happily. Very good light and reflections on the floor. I tried a tight hand crop of the three figures on the left and on the right, and I liked the result. I think I preferred the three on the right - but a good image as it is!

Well, to be fair, I find this photo disturbing.

Disturbing because it conflicts with my preconceptions. Because all my mental "dancers" are thin, nicely curved and light as feather. I do not like to be told or shown that I am plain wrong (what else do you expect from a grown up man?)!

These five dancers "look" short, crippled, muscular and rigid... This forces me to make a choice between two alternatives: To insist that my preconceptions were all correct or to accept that dancers become elegant & light only after torture.

And, here is my clever solution (again, what else could you expect from a grown up man!): I accept both!

Did I tell you that this is a thought provoking photo?
