Photographer’s Note
Master Ma Yue performs Wu Shu at the Chinese New Year celebrations in Nottingham. Accompanied by my friend Ling Peng (Peng Ling) on the erhu, (a Chinese stringed instrument) this was a moving and spontaneous performance of seamless motion........

Jeeze, Kev,
another great portrait. The lighting is phenomenal and it's fabulous in B&W. Mad good detail and perfect exposure. What I really am awed by, though, is the composition and the positioning of his hands and face. Brilliant shot! Many thanks and kind regards,
Shelly

Sharpness, light, POV and this feeling that life, gestures, music and movements have just stopped to let you take your picture, ready to start again as if nothing had happened... magical!

Hi Kev, I like how you took this shot with the dark background and the contrasting light hands and face of Master Ma Yue. The Wu Shu motion almost discernible in this BW photo, Thanks for sharing...Alex

Hi Kev.
I usually like scenery photos, but this one really stands out. I like the choice of black and white very much as it brings out the contrast. The lighting is great here and I love the pose as well. Great work!
Greetings,
Ann

Hello Kev,
Beautiful picture. Very elegant movement and strong expression.
I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of advancing a workshop, which I will post tomorrow. Hope you like it.
Have a great weekend Kev
