[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I rarely go to touristics performances; this one is the sunday gamelan and classical dance in sultan's kraton of Yogjakarta.
I cannot prevent myself, if I am in this city to go again look at this; but I rather like the "envers du décor" in french; not the performance itself.
It's why , I suppose, one of the women said to me (you cannot see her on this picture):
"I don't understand what you are doing, what is beautiful is dance...."
So I took this shot just after the coming back of the blurred man who is drinking some water with pipe; the two women have already dance and chat while observing me in the same time; and behind the window another woman of the security service of the kraton fight against boring looking at me too.
May be she also di his job: taking care...

Great use of DOF in this sublime image Joel, I like it a lot, a first class composition, compliments!!!

ciao, Fabio.

I agree - I really like the use of DOF here - there is so much to see as we look across the frame - colour, posture, emotion. form and then we come to that wonderful animated look - beautifully capturing her beauty beyond form.

really very nice Joel!

best wishes Kev

Tres fine cette image, Joel. J'aime le cote "coulisses", "behind the scenes" et le gars au premier plan tout flou. C'est dramatique et relaxe en meme temps. Excellent travail!
Amities,
Francis

Good for you to look the in the other direction. This is a very interesting shot, great compo. I have been experimenting with out-of-focus people in the foreground too (although I haven't posted any of the results on TE so far) and I think you've achieved a very good result here. The security woman in the back is a big plus in this picture. Well done!

Bonjour Joel,
Another shot well captured. The usual play with the blurred foreground and a good description of the environment that allows us to fully understand the atmosphere of the shots. I love it Joel! That is a really good share of your experiences. Merci,
All the best,

Ricardo

That was probably the most interesting that happend to the security-woman that day :-)

The woman to the right is really beautiful - and I like the fact that she is looking at you. And an other thing I like is all the details.......great scene.

Bravo Joël - tu as merveilleusement rendu l'ambiance de derrière la scène et la fatigue des acteurs - le flou sur celui de gauche qui boit à la paille est fabuleux -
splendide
Merci et bonne soirée
Amitiés
Gaby
PS : je suis trop occupé professionnellement ce qui ne me permet pas de m'occuper du site comme je le devrais - aussi, à partir de demain, je ne posterais plus qu'un jour sur deux.

Salut Joel.
J'aime beaucoup ton choix de focus et d'ouverture, c'est excellent je trouve.
En plus c'est très bien cadré avec cette personne floutté sur la gauche, puis ce regard policier dans le fond et ces 2 femmes sur la droite.
Le regard et ce petit sourir crispé que te lance cette belle demoiselle sur la droite, c'est superbe.
Très belle compo.
Bravo
Fred

(j'aurais peut-être juste viré la partie traversante sur le bas qui gène un poil je trouve)

Hi Joel, great composition, POV and DOF. I enjoy you image. Nino

Salut Joel,
Tu as reusite bien a capturer les visages et expresions de cettes danseus dans son temps libre,
le POV est superbe, et le flou sur le mesieur a gauche marche tres bien,
A+

Excelent shot! I like a lot the play
of collors and DOF.
And the eyes of the dancers for shure!
Joel

The DOF is just Right, bringing the boring look just enough as a backdrop against the lively dancers, Wih the man giving a kind of mysterious bending down as a respect to the ladies?!...
What I like & try to learn from you is the the technology merging with your sense of story telling to weave tale...
Thanks,
Prem.
