Indon Dancers 2 Photo

Photographer’s Note

This will be the last shot I took of the Indonesian Festival dancers in Melbourne's Federation Square, two weekends ago. It's heavily cropped from a shot taken with a focal length of about 150mm. I've adjusted the levels a bit, resized and framed. The bright outfits and sunshine did the rest, leaving hardly any need to work on the colour rendition or contrast.

Hi Andrew,

The lady to righthand show a lovely expression on her face, also her foot make a excellent moving in this scene, splendid traditional attire with excellent colours too! Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice day,
John

Hi Andrew,

you've captured something very special with this composition. The colours are wonderful, it's sharp and the light is fantastic. Like John said, the lady has a great expression and her foot gives a really good sense of movement. A great capture Andrew, well done.

Regards

Stephen

Nicely captured, Andrew. I find it hard to get a great compsition with an action shot like this (much easier with landscapes!) but you've done a great job. It may have taken a lot of shots and some cropping but the end result is great.

Greetings Andrew.
I find this series facsinating. The serene smile on the far womans face creates a lovely mood. Again I like the mirror effect of the two women. The very fluid lines of the bodies create soft curves along each dancers whole being. Fantastic colors as well and a very good crop.
Regards,
Chris.

Nice, veri nice, again. This time this is not a landscape. Perfect position - equal distance from all side. Never mind if it is a crop. Congratulation, Andrew.
