Fantastyczne kolory, fajny moment uchwyciles i ladnie skomponowany kadr, perfekcja! pozdrawiam, piotr

Hi Maciek, this is a really beautiful composition. Good arms position, colorful, good DOF and sharpness. A very nice catch!

Amazing! It has your name written all over it: a great and colourful subject located off-centre, a spectacular background with just enough DOF to complement the main subject but not to distract attention from it... A truly well conceived and executed picture!

Oui, c'est très bien fait. La danseuse semble vous regarder droit dans les yeux. Autant j'aime la définition et les couleurs du personnage, autant j'adore le fond presque estompé comme voilé. C'est très bien fait.

I already saw it yesterday but it seems it didn't get comments and you deleted it after a while...did you change something and repost it then?

Did you also try some backstage shooting like Morgan's shot?

Très jolie photo. De très belles couleurs et un visage sublime de part son expression. A mon sens une image superbe.

A fine portrait in action Maciek! A strong gesture and fine eyecontact. I like how you kept a space on the right for the backdrop.

wow, you did get close to make that shot, it seems...? vivid colors , sharp focus and great compo... all necessary ingredients for a good shot are there;-)) bravo!

No complaints here. Superb backdrop as well, is a big plus.

Good compo Maciek, i like his position and arms, I think i would have got a tighter framing (Just under the right arm) to get more attention on the face & arms IMO. Great colors as always

Souvenir from Ban festival huh? it's really cool. great colors, nice pose and well composed.

Colourful lady, well framed. Somehow I managed to miss the opera. Probably because I had enough of the crowds after three hours. To Peng Chau only one ferry every two hours, so I took an early opportunity......

Great contrast of colors. The framing is spot on. The timing of the shot is great as the posture of the lady is a big plus for the photo.

What a great capture, the angle the pose is just perfect, I like the traditional building behind her too, it adds to the pic, the sharpness is great too, well captured

Wow, she looks stunning! great sharpness and clarity, you captured a very nice pose, and her left hand has enough space to stretch out.
Wonderful. And did you like the music?

A breathtakingly beautiful photo that wouldn't look out of place in a Hong Kong travel book.

Great picture, technically perfect and interesting

This is such a good picture. Excellent colors and very good compo. My only nitpick is the painted background. But this is the reality so we might as well be exposed to that, even just in pictures.

Wonderful Maciej ! The expression and the colours are perfect !
Very well done !

Maciek, do not delete again... it is beautiful. I love the way the eyes seem to look at us, and the arms give volume to the subject. Also, great DOF (good that it is blurry, yet we can see that it is Chinese architecture). Colors are very powerful (might have been interesting to try one of these shots where you desaturate the background a bit).
Frank.

Wonderful shot! Very nice color, expression and well composed. Did you use a flash here?
Very nice shot.
