Three Faces Tango, a photo from Baja California Sur, Baja

Photographer's Note

At the lovely Galeria La Encantada in La Paz, a young couple tangos while a sculpture (by the great artist Lila Magallon) seems to watch...

Even with the ISO cranked up to 3200, this shot took 1/30 of a second, so I had to wait for a slower moment during the dance. Fortunately, the tango incorporates many slow and stopped moments in its steps!

Hi Russ!
You captured a wonderful scene here with a good timing.I like a lot the dancer`s facial expressions and poses, and this sculpture is a fine detail in your composition.

Greeting from still F..... cold and snowy Mannheim in Germany,
Leo

Hi Russ

they are fully absorbed by the dance, and well lighted. The wooden sculpture at right is distracting.
Cheers

Hi Russ

a wonderful moment - I love the feeling of passion coming from the couple the lighting is great and the colours warm. I like the statue - I think it adds to the photo.

Although the colours are great, I wonder if you tried the photo in black and white?
