    Nice conversion, Cristóbal. Well done. I think this would have been a stronger shot if we could see at least one of the faces, though it does tell a story as is. I want a hat like that--bought one in Mexico many years ago but I have no idea what became of it.

    Thanks Richard, interesting perspective. I actually chose this pic among others precisely because it was anonymous. I thought it captured the essence of dancing without being a story about those two individualsne_nau.gif

    Actually, I was struck by the fact that you can't see their faces - kept me looking at the image for far longer than I probably would have otherwise! I love this shot.

    I'm going to agree with.............. Jo! thumb.gif
    In this story, I don't miss the faces.
    However, that leaves the hands as major expressive elements, and so, I do miss the cut-off hand...

    Thanks Eric. I agree with you about the chopped hand, I wish I had opened the frame a bit more.

    It's a very nice composition and I love the B&W conversion. I do agree with Jo and Eric. I don't miss
    the faces but I really would like to see that hand. I also really like the hat! Fits great in this shot.

    Thanks for the comment, as I said I wish I had a wider shot...
