Well done Theodora, love that grain too, but specially the joy and dynamic here, the low POV adding to it, and the expressions on their faces, all very natural and charming. Also the young people sitting in the right corner are a good detail. It must have been swinging at this wedding ! :-).

Kind regards
Michèle

Hello Teodora,
I enjoy this for its zest and verve.It makes me wish to be in their company. Good POV and the graininess suits.

Hey, I haven't noticed that you're back! I had really missed your photos, so happy to see you're back, even if I've noticed it a little bit late :(
Considering the ladies dance, you really did it well with 1/25.
Nice low pov, letting us see their steps and witness their joy.
Best wishes,
Burcu

Hehe, ma face sa zambesc :) foarte misto si antrenant :) ce-as fi vrut sa aud si muzica pe care dansau! :))). Imi plac expresiile, imi place mai ales tanti aia din dreapta :), comunicarea/corespondenta cu mireasa.
Bun low pov/dinamism.

cred ca mi-ar fi placut si un cadru putin mai apropiat :), asta a fost prima senzatie vazand imaginea
ma bucur c-ai postat :)

it's fun, apart from their facial expressions, to observe the body languages of the dancers. they seem to be speaking the same language of joy and happiness, rare human behaviour not so easy to see nowadays.

I liked the way you've dealt with this candid shot dora and glad to see you are back. my compliments,

Hi Teodara
Ah you're still in dancing mode - love the atmo, the interaction between the dancers and their energy! The low angle and the lead in was well chosen here! Also powerful in graphical terms - the square lights and the pillar form a good contrast with the shapes dancing ladies. Compelling work.
Have a fine week,
Bert

They all have splendid expressions and body languages, it seems to have been a grand affair looking at the WS photos !

"women and grain", like Jasmis writes... well done ! Hope to see more of them here, or on flickr :))
