Fantastic capture, Takero. I like how you combined the three dancers together, both in terms of POV and in terms of focus.

It is a bit of a pity that a bit of the left sleeve of the foreground girl is a bit out of focus: maybe a bit less of aperture would have avoided this...
But it's just a minor thing, and just my opinion: in any case, it is really a beautiful shot!

Thanks for sharing.

Hello Takero,

What a beautiful portrait of a pretty dancer. Your composition is excellent. Your focus on the first dancer with the two behind in blur help create a sens of proximity. Great colours and sharpness.

Hi Takero
Wonderful shot of these dancers. I love the way the lead dancer is framed by her two colleagues. Great expression as well. Superb costumes they are wearing.
You know, at the moment we have the japanese Daiko drummer group called Yamamoto performing here in Basel. I might even consider to go and watch them.
all the best to you
Daniel

Bonjour Takero,
une exploitation parfaite du peu de lumières offertes. Je vois que ta galerie est très orientée 'portraits' et que tu aimes photographier les scènes festives et les spectacles.
De quoi nous mettre de bonne humeur.
Regards
Daniel.

Hello Takero,
Another superb composition. The nearest woman has a very expressive look and posture of her arms. The women behind her are very nicely blurred. They complement the composition without disturbing our attention of the star of the picture. The black background is excellent.
Kind regards,
Gert
