Photographer’s Note
English translation below.
Niñas y Ballet parecen ser sinónimos en la mente de muchos padres (yo incluido). Anoche asistí con mi hija Vielka a una presentación de ballet de una renombrada escuela en Santo Domingo. Llevé mi cámara con la intención de experimentar con luz y movimiento.
Esta niña no la conozco, pero representaba junto con sus amiguitas al color violeta del arcoiris. Otras niñas tenían atuendos que recorrían todo el espectro de luz, y el espectáculo era estupendo. Quise captar su expresión y haciendo un triángulo con las otras dos niñas, enfatizar en ella la mirada de la infancia y la ilusión del arte que nace en un corazón de seis años.
Utilicé ISO 1600.

Girls and the ballet appear to be synonims at some point for many parents (myself included). Last night I attended with my daugther Vielka to a presentation from a local School in Santo Domingo. I carried my camera just to do som exercises on light and movement.
I don't know this girl, but she and her friends were representing Violet color from the Rainbow. Other girls had colorful outfits that represented all the ligth spectrum and the show was simply spectacular.
I wanted to freeze her expresion and making a triangle with the other two girls, to focus the kid vision and illusion for art that grows up in a six-years old heart.
I used ISO 1600.

Hello Dario
Now why is that at some point in a parents life they always wnat their kids to do something spesific.
In your case it is ballet, for others it is a choir or child theatre etc.
In this case I'm a bit amazed at how well you managed to capture the almost intense look in these girls eyes, mesmerized almost.
Good sharp focus to capture the glitter and full colour of their costumes.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Dario, finally I'm back and ready to critique all your postings that I missed. Lets start with this one. Lovely portrait of the violet and blue princesses. The high ISO gave a texture that enhances the shot a lot. The look, the expression in their faces is extremely beautiful. Nice capture and good training moment.
Best Regards, Peter
