Superb series, each shot seems to build on the one before, Rafal. I like the way the photographs echo what's on the gym floor, as well as the pose of the observer.
Top stuff,
Francis

This is really good..the book/album showing the different styles...and the real thing happening in the ground ahead ..that boy looking on..just makes everything come together..very well knit photograph Rafal...terrific stuff..
regards,
Siddhartha

The position of the boy in front of the middle row is excellent. And the boy in the FG looks like a good observer to the action below him. The photo album complements well the spirited atmosphere. Well done.

Czesc,
fajna praca, dynamika w ruchach dzieciakow zatrzymana w kadrze. Ladne kontrasty, jak zawsze u Ciebie. Kadr tez ok. Podoba mi sie.

Yyes, the mixture of 'live action' and photographs representing action works well here Rafal. What I like here is the decidication of the students here and the contrast that the back of the boys outfit makes. Maybe to an outsider they might not think that the boy is serious about his sport.

A good complementary shot for your series, more opened to the field. The opposition between the front and the back layers works wery well.

And another great image from this series, not only do the white costumes make it great for black and white, but the formations and the repetition of the kids are also very photogenic.

Keep 'em coming...

Hi Rafal,

my brother used to do Taekwondo. I loved to go watch his classes and ask his Master to do cool tricks.

In this photo, I like the kid watching the class... he has almost our POV, it's a very interesting inclusion in the frame.

The use of B&W as a funny effect. It makes every single kid a black belt in Taekwondo. They never thought they'd get there so fast and effortlessly... :-)

Another one for your beautiful theme. This one fits quite well the large group action shot although I think as a single it doesn't have the strength the previous ones did. I am missing some emotion here. The kid standing lonely in the balcony do contribute a little to the sensitivity of the shot and he sure is my favorite element here. He and the cartoon in his kimono. The pictures and the cellphone also play an important role... Like it.

Znakomite. Te zdjęcia na pierwszym planie i mały marzyciel a w tle zastę przyszłych mistrzów. Znakomite. I jak zwykle kompozycyjnie perełka. Pozdrawiam T.

HI Rafal, another good one of this series..
I like a lot the repetition of the subject on the left the lonely boy, on the photographs and on the pavement..
well done!
ciao!
Valeria

Thats clever Rafal, the photos in the 'instruction manual' to the side and the little TKD watching over the little experts. Good one.

Hey Rafal,

Interesting elements here,

1)the 'actual' students in 'still' position,
2)the 'still' images in 'action'.

The Boy standing in between these 2 elements is seeing both the reality of the sports.

Clever composition!

Pozdrawiam

Jom

Hi Rafal,

Yes, also a great composition here! The boy in the foreground resting or just peacefully enjoying the display going on below him. Nice.

Greetings, Dennis

Love the repetitions in that one.

Hi Rafal,
very nice pov allowing us to have multiple moments !
It's a shame there is no additional rows on the right side to fill a bit the gap.
Thanks,
