    Interesting to see this. Very nice use of color in a basically monochrome setting. Male is monochrome and female has color.

    Very nice.

    I'm still working on getting a shot of dancing using just the feet. It wouldn't have worked for me if there had been a single set of woman's feet in the upper right. As it is, it expresses jealousy. This is masterful. Have you thought about posting in the new Street forum?

    This is partly my doing. I've cajoled Damon to post here and haven't been in touch enough to notice the new forum. I suppose it means that BD will take his party there?

    Thank you michswiss. I agree totally with your take on the shot. The jealousy is there for sure.

    I like the shot but I would have liked it even more if her feet would have been in a different "pose". Tango is a very sensual dance and the ladies do a lot of leg work. Her legs don't say anything to me, to me it looks like you got her in between moves ..... Hmmmm, just my 2 cents thumb.gif

    Oh, no! Between moves. it's the dance photographer's worst thing. The dancers all have clear ideas of just when they'd like to be captured. it takes the photographer who isn't a dancer a long time to catch on.

    So maybe this could work better as a dance picture, but it makes a much more general statement than that.

    It might not even be a dance, but rather a photograph of a woman with "tango legs" with men looking on.

    You're hilarious Rutt. What is the saying? You have to listen to the words between the words...or something like that. Thanks Dan.
