Very nice use of light.          enjoy pjc

Lindsey,

I don't mind the space to the left. Critiquing online is difficult since we all have different screens. If original is film I'd use a faster ISO and compensating Developer. I used to shoot the performing arts a lot. HP5 at 1600 or 2400 in Xtol. If digital I would try and pull up the shadow detail. You were shooting at 1/60 sec at F5.6 or 8 I guess. Artists and black clothes. I used to say to Choreographers "ah maybe design a piece in say deep blue leotards?"

You know something bright. enjoy pjc

Paul,

going to your portfolio here I like the third image better. It does what I was going to suggest. Which is step back or widen out the shot feet are very important in sports or dance photography. To best imply the motion you need to leave space for those feet to step into or land. In your third image you have that and perhaps in my opinion more dramatic shadows. When an image is cropped at the ankles or hands it tends to lead the viewers eye off the image where when you have the negative space it will hold the viewers attention better. enjoy pjc

Really just a wish to all that you are well and warm. But also am

interested in your thoughts on the image. enjoy pjc

at Norwich Connecticut over the last 100 years.

Hello Sam,

I do write a column on Traditional Photographic Art on nikonians.com in the cafe forum. It is more of a rambling interactive photo/philosophy discussion. enjoy pjc
