I'm still searching for a way to show just how sensuous is this particular scene from The Boston Ballet's Nutcracker. I don't often resort to B&W, but in this case, the light and colors, great as they are in person, seem to distract from the expression of the dancers. So perhaps this is a good use of B&W.

Please, I'd love to hear some opinions on this. Thanks.
If not now, when?

    the look on her face in this one is stunning. just wish his was the same, or at least looking in a similar direction.

    I agree with you though, the bw is nice in this one, it really makes her expression steal the show.

    This one might not be as good a composition as the three I posted originally, but it's just an amazing bit if dancing. It's one of the moments of this performance that sticks in my mind for days after I see it.
