Hi Paddyrags - that's a cool moment, correct exposure to catch this event, the palette of colour is impressive. But not sure about the tilt... Regards, Daniel

Hi Paddy
From your thumbnail I was not sure what I would see.
And? I was positively surprised. I like your 45° rotated photo.
Well done,
Leonidas

Hello Paddyrags,
Another nice shot, i noticed that your camera was also swinging the way you tilted the camera. Really it is a nice picture and your script is well noted.
Thanks for sharing and hope to see more photos from you.
Best Regards,
Hussein

Wow, what a catch! Perfect exposure, brilliant colors, incredible detail. I love the stop action catching the garments as the dancer swirled. I wasn't sure about the tilt, but I've found it's rather appealing. VERY well done! Many thanks and kindest regards,
Shelly
