Dramatic dancer

Found this cool old wall to shoot against.

Wow. LOVE the conversion - the way the toning catches the highlights is just beautiful.

Only slight nit is I'd love less of the trees at the top- any way to twiddle it so those catch less attention? Just a thought.

More A+ dancer work from you. I click on these threads first when I see one of them - LOVE this project!!

zoomer

Thanks..glad you like it. This is darker than my norm.
I kind of like the trees at the top, I think they add to the mood of the shot....but do appreciate how they could also be a distraction however.

Naturally I'll be contrary Diva.

Given the dark mood of this image, I think the trees contribute to the kind of "graveyard" cold, moody feel. There's mystery there.

I like this a lot Zoomer. I might have smoothed out the belly a bit but that's way personal preference.

Hackbone

Love the light playing over the contours.

Man, that's a powerful shot. Awesome, Zoomer.

Frankly, I very much dig the opposing triangles of the dancers limbs w/ the limbs of those trees.
And then there's the crack that mimics her full bodyline...

If this wasn't all done in post (see below)



The shot is off the chart and the shooters eye is very keen.

Oooh.... I hadn't spotted those triangles - now THAT rocks

zoomer

Well I knew she was in the crack in the wall but the limbs triangle was by chance. Thanks!

Mitchell

Wow, this is really a great photo. Strong pose and I like the composition. The conversion is also very well done. Great job!

zoomer

Thanks Mitchell.

Linnea Lenkus

Nice. Now I just have to find a way to get that into my studio!

Great photo. Wouldn't change a thing.

Well, it's freaking awesome!
Kudos'.



Whats it take to get a 'Zoom Zoom' tagged jpg for printing ONE copy for hanging?
You've got NO IDEA how much I like this.

Very generous of you, thanks.

Looking through this shoot, you got your mileage outta that wall and I'm guessing that this was a real workout for the subject - I'm tired from just viewing it.


Fantastic work.

Katie is tough and she is a good sport.
