Nostalgia for Bali #5, a photo from Bali, Nusa Tenggara

Photographer's Note

This is also for "Rejang Dance/Dancer", holly dance for the God. The characteristics of this holly dance are sprecial head dress(full of floweres), vivid traditiobnal clothes and charming cute dancers. This special head dress is ratsher heavy and takes time to set up and needs for the assitance of others. Platform is from Banana leaf and various floweres are weaved into.

Hello Takero. My compliments for this great and colorful photo. You captured this beautiful scene, masterful at using your camera. I like the composition very much, because in the narrow picture frame is just what is really important to see. Rgds, Wolfgang.

Hello Takero,
You found more pretty girls, but there is a great choice of beauty on Bali. You captured the attention of one of them which was essential to the composition. The light and colours and details are beautiful.
Kind regards,
Gert

hi Takero,
This is a fantastic series you have shared with us, each picture as wonderful as the next. It is a fantastic way of capturing this event, and the people behind the colour and spectacle. This shows us the minute attention to detail that these performers do, and has, as always, a wonderful capture of expression.
Thanks for sharing, and greetings from Ireland.

Hi Takero,

A beautiful portrait from a few years ago. Lots of colours to see, it captures the vibe of Bali well. Sharp photography with lots of details in the traditional head attire. I like the depth of field, the background is nicely matted for a stand-out subject. Great!

Hello dear Takero,
a wonderful picture with the two lovely dancers preparing for their performance. The scene is very natural and charming. I like very much how the one of the girls is concentrated in fixing her friend's costume while the other one is looking intently at you establishing a great contact with the viewer as well. I also like the tight frame, depth, mild lighting and lovely colours as they all contribute to the naturalness and pleasant atmosphere of the scene. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,
Ourania
