You did it well. I lack all these wonderful skills. Your talent is really special. You idea worked and we have this frozen face and action packed dance. We see the happiness mixed with the pure energy. Very well done !! drt100 David

Hello Takero,
Another technically successful composition with perfect sharpness on the lady's face and legs and nice motion blur on her hands. The dancers behind her are well placed out of focus and help to make the photo very dynamic.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Takero
another fine looking festival photo, this time with slowing down the shutter a bit, to create this effect. nice to have the bg performers blurred as well, to give the woman in the front a clear presence. fine shot in this low light. Fun. cheers

Hi Takero,
Your skills at actions shots are so evident on this shot. Stance of the dancer is very dynamic. It is interesting to compare motion blur of the hands and the sharp face.

Hello Takero,
An excellent impression of this dance. The woman in the foreground is perfectly sharp and stands out well from her blurrier colleagues behind her. Very well captured with good light and fine colours.

Bonjour, cher ami Takero,
Belle prise de vue à travers cette parade en mouvement, j'imagine les difficultés pour obtenir une bonne photo.
Le résultat est parlant et l'on remarque que les participants ou participantes jouent le jeu complètement.
Très bien.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Takero, Interesting Awa Odori dancers. I like how you set up the sharpness. The main dancer has a dirty knee, maybe she fell down? Funny these stockings.

Kind regards MAlgo
