The Cyclical Nigth Photo

Photographer’s Note

The stars and men revolve in a cycle...

Every sleepless night will come back in minute
detail...

I do not know if we will recur in a second
cycle...

But I know that a vague Pythagorean rotation
night after night set me down in the world...

Extract from "The Cyclical Night"- Jorge Luis Borges

Interesting lights/shadows game. An impressive performance.

Je n'ai aucune idée de ce qu'était le spectacle en question, mais voyant cette image, je me dis que tu as su créer une histoire de ton cru.
Voici mon histoire. L'homme à droite est en train de "modeler" quelque chose, comme le potier à son tour. L'objet qu'il modèle, c'est sa muse qui le lui présente, dans un tourbillon de danse. "Regarde, voici l'oeuvre que tu dois réaliser."
:))
Les noirs sont profonds à souhait et les 'blancs' sont parfaitement bien dominés.
Et parce que Claire est Claire, j'effacerais tout simplement cette légère ligne pâle qui va du bas du cadre jusqu'au genou de la muse.

hello andre,
perfect timing and composition.
very good idea to overlap head and foot.
there is line at the bottom, darkening it may yield interesting results.
warm regards,
omer

Hi André,
again, beautiful work. Ok, Claire has seen the little detail:-).

Myself, and this is very personal, I wish there was a little bit more space above her head, in black, but I am not even sure and it's to nitpick. Light, b/n are sumptuous, the movement soft and dynamic at the same time. I love that man in the background. A touch of mysticism, and very poetic too, even without the text.

Bonne nuit là-bas...
Amitiés
Michèle

So beautiful. So expressive and impressive at the same time. The dancer's moving seems to be enough for a great photo, still together with a man's arms to the right and the amphora to the left makes exceptional photo.
Greetings. T.
PS. Nice to have you around again :))
