Hot salsa Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

A break of my italian travelogue for a moment. Something hot for Sunday. Hot salsa near my home!
World Salsa Champions from Cali, Colombia, Mulato y Su Swing Latino TIGO (Team Division Champions 2006 & 2007). I had no idea that there are championships in salsa...

As I am not sure if the colour (very colourful, indeed) version would be appreciated, here b&w.

Hi Malgorzata,
Beautiful lighting for this action shot!
Nice indication of the Salsa dance!
The light from the spot light is stunning and the soft treatment is adequate for this outdoor shot.
Good natural framing with the tree.
Well presented.
Regards,

Francis Xavier

B&W wyszło jak z lat 60 ubiegłego stulecia. Ma styl i nastrój ta scenka.
Pozdrawiam.

Czesc Malgorzata! Swietna dynamiczna kompozycja. Efektowna czrno-biala fotografia. Dobra praca, bardzo dobra. Klaniam sie!

Ciao cara Malgorzata,
è difficile dire se è più bella la versione a colori o quella in B&W, perchè hanno due fascini diversi, ma ugualmente piacevoli. Forse preferisco quella a colori perchè è più ampia, anche se la cosa più importante, indipendentemente dal colore, è la bellissima sensazione del movimento che dà questa immagine, catturata nel momento giusto. Bravissima!
Ciao, buona domenica e felice settimana!
Paolo

Czesc Malgosiu,
Wspaniala konwersja oraz bardzo dynamiczne ujecie. Az sie goraco zrobilo od tych kolumbijskich rytmow. Podoba mi sie ta naturalna rameczka z galazek.
Pozdrawiam,

hi Malgor

I like this.

The dancers are frozen at the right moment to have this superb pose. Very clever in using the vertical and frame with the leaves. B&W is fine for this presentation.

Good work.

while i look at the dancers, it's fine, but when i look in the BG, it's clearly tilted to the right,
however, a fine choice of PP to convert in B&W

One color is enough for your best expression, dear Malgorzata. Your pictures from Italy are also superb and I discover a wonderful photographer here. Proud of your recent visit, so good introduction for friendship.

In my opinion this B&W version is wonderful and the best way to present the action. It adds the feeling of the old musical movies. The sense of action is extraordinary and the framing is very beautiful. Well done.

Hi Malgorzata,

This image conveys many feelings, one alive moment and full of energy, we can feel the intensity of the show, B&W adds force and intensity to the work , interesting composition and good light control.

Regards
José

I like very much this b/w composition.
Contrast and grey tone are well managed; the foliage in foreground, the light effects and the dynamism of the scene create a wonderful atmosphere.
My best compliments Malgorzata!
Ciao
Ales
