[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It is late, a small bamboo gamelan is playing; only balinese here, men overall.
A legong dancer come (it's outside) and choose one man in the circle to dance.
Some refuse some do like if they refused and agree, some are pushed by friends and escape, funny...


In the dance, the woman do all to seduce the man, to attrack him, but finally push him away and attrack him again...
fascinating demonstration of feminine physical attraction on men in a very suggestive way.

Salut Joel,

Very interesting image. The boy looks like he is pretty impressed by the girl, I like how you captured her keeping him at a distance. The image is fairly sharp for using ISO 1600
Well Done.

hi joel,
very good composition, lovely look on their faces, so different on each, he looks a bit shy and she looks impenetrable - she plays her part well :)!
interesting note, too

Bonjour Joel,
cela me rappelle plein de bons souvenirs quand ils nous faisaient danser, on ressemblait à des éléphants... cela tranchait avec la grâce des balinaises !
J'aime bien ta composition avec ce garçon qui essaye de regarder les pieds de la demoiselle pour pouvoir les suivre.
Bonne série

Bonjour Joel, très belle attitude de la femme qui semble etre dominante dans cette danse, l homme effacé... une très belle gestion de la lumière fait une très belle photo
bonne journée
amicalement

Very nice shot, Joel. I allways enjoy seeing anything more from Bali. Good lightning and sharpnes. Did you use a tripod? The expression of the couple is amazing.

Joel: firstly, fine subjects, but secondly, great play on the black matte background. I like how parts of both your models fade into black. Very pacific-Asian. best, c

Bonsoir Joel:

La lumière très bonne, et la différente attitude des deux sujets la meilleure (pour moi) qualité de cette photo qui est techniquement tres bonne, et possède une grande force d'expression. La danseuse à un geste presque extasié et le garçon comme s'il calculait les mouvements. Grand moment, grande photo! Merci,

Angel.

Salut Joel,
I am amazed by her expression while he gazes at her body, it seems to me. No wonder! She is feline and feminine, a Balinese beauty... but her gaze looks remarkably teasing and equanimous at the same time. Excellent capture, nice series, and the note sounds very true.
Take care

Hi Joel, you're now doing to Indonesia what you did so expertly to India- catching the life and colours of the country like only you can. The colours in this one along with the facial expressions and body language is so well captured making this a great composition.
