Indon Dancers, a photo from Victoria, East

Photographer's Note

Another photo of Festival Indonesia dancers, performing in the Federation Square in Melbourne last weekend. This has had about 25% cropped from all sides, and a little increase in saturation as well as a bit of selective lightening of the face of the girl on the right. The dancers were in extremely bright sunshine in front of a dim background. Their sinuous movements and the colours of their garments were spectacular and captivating.

Excellent composition, light and colours here, Andrew, I like how they form one continuous line, being turned to each other in symmetrical positions. You have captured a moment of great beauty here, really. The dancer on the right is a bit grainy, being in the shadow, but this is not your fault but I guess your camera's...

Cheers
Alexander

Hi , Andrew .
It's SO beautiful .
I am very fond of the colours and their beautiful costumes .
The yellow , the orange and the greyish-lilac colour go together so well .
The framing is excellent !!
The black part of the frame " feels like " velvet !
One of my favourite photos !

Dorte.

Hello Andrew,
Eye-catching strong colours!
Your point of view is good, and resulting in a dynamic composition, and you capture the interaction between the dancers well...
Strong sunlight gives some problems, but I can live with that!

Hello Andrew.
Your PP work really is excellent with this photo. You have enhnced a photo to bring to us the very scene that you saw..great. The colors are really well captured and enhanced. I really enjoy the mirror effect that your perspective creates with the two women. The details of their outfits are really well documented also. Another fine shot of this dance.
Regards,
Chris
