Photographer’s Note
I will be submitting some photos from Sevilla to show the beauty of this city and its traditions (especially after having beaten el Depor 4:0 and finishing 2006 as the leader of la primera, etc...).
This is a photo from la Feria de Abril - a festival which I described in my previous post:

These two girls in typical dress "Traje de Flamenca" dance a typical dance from Andalucia region called Sevillanas, which can be described as simplier version of flamenco (even though official sources state that it is not 100% true).
As they were dancing I couldn't use a tripod but wanted to capture the movement without losing the beautiful slim curves of the dancers. Bit of experimenting and in the end shot this one with 1/2 sec.

Hi Ondrej, You have really captured the movement well, whilst still retaining enough detail to see something of the expression of the dancer in the foreground. Well done!. cheers, Steve
