[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo was taken in a Dong village named XiaoHuang in CongJiang county. XiaoHuang is famous for its traditional songs performance of Dong minority and is always called as "Village of Dage", where Dage is just the name of those Dong songs performance. Many persons in the village, from children to old men/women, will attend the performance and sing special part of the songs. It is really a great art. Here are some young girls in the DaGe performance wearing their traditional clothes.

hi huang,
i think this is a very unique image. i would try to leave the first lady on the right out of the frame. she is very blurry.
good job

Hi Yansong, very nice image but I also agree with the previous comment. I would also eliminate the right part of the picture. I would show the girl on focus as number 2 form the right creating a nice transition from front to back. Best regards.

La mise au point au centre de la rangée est très subtil. C'est une très belle photo !!! Félicitation !

J'adore ce genre de cliché ou seul une personne se détache parmi tant d'autres.
bravo !

Yansong: pity about your DOF, but the image still has alot of merit - not the least of which is a cultural vignette. regards, c

I am interested to know more about this village. I traveled throughout Guizhou province, but didnt have the good fortune to witness any performances. Was this performance for a tourist group? How often are they held?
Well done on the DOF, background is nicely blurred, and i think you chose the most beautiful girl to focus on. Wonderful costumes.
