    Re: Dancer

    In keeping with my tradition of commenting on shots that no one else has, I think this is an interesting one. I really like the woman in red checking out the statue and the amt of blur works here, ... not too intrusive, not too distant. But I would really like it even more if only that woman in red were back there and not the others .. one person works but four's a crowd. It would also of course be better if that painting wasn't directly behind the live woman's head.. time for a clone.

    The woman in reds posture is interesting for me, she looks puzzled, and scratching the back of her head as though she is unsure what to make of the sculpture.

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I guess it must be rather difficult in a gallery or museum to get everyone to keep clear while you take a photo.... The 'lady in red' works for me as part of the image but have to agree that the other passersby are a distraction.

    Tuna,

    this image I like a lot and would not change a thing. What I like is the way that one person in the room is paying attention to the dancer while all the others are walking past in a regimented fashion. The girl in red looks as if she could be putting up her hair to mimic the dancer and giving it that extra nuance.

    I also like the way her elbow is nudging the woman in white to say "Hey look at this".

    The colours contrast nicely across the whole room and that adds to the power of the picture for me.

    The one minor thing that I might consider cloning out would be the man'w head and shoulder directly behind the woman in red, but that is a very minor nit pic.
