For the love of photography...
For the love of everything that's unspoilt...
For the love of uniqueness...
For the love of intelligence...



Bowing down...

Hi Claire,
Dancing couples are nice figures to take portraits thereof, because they always like exaggerating their facial expressions and this gives you feelings. I like the tight, triangular crop on the guy's face, the parallesim of the lady's inclination and the soft lines in the BG, and the last but not the least, overall framing idea which makes them look more real.
Cheers,
Deniz

Wow! This is a brilliant shot! Very dramatic, both in the expression and the way you have framed it, off centre and with the man's face only just slipping into the corner of the frame. I like that dark background too, which isolates the subjects. Outstanding work!

Bonjour, Claire.
Les mots me manquent, vraiment...
C'est beau, c'est sensuel, c'est cinématographique....
La scène est d'une rare beauté, les expressions riches de sens...
Et ton PP est un chef-d'oeuvre, avec ces tons de gris d'une belle brillance et avec le contour entrecoupé par le bras de l'homme.
Une des meilleurs photos que j'ai vue sur TE.
Amicalement, Grazyna.

on my knees...
the degree of perfection in preparing the presentation of the image itself is overwhelming...the way you intruded the with the man's arm - perfectly in the place where she-dancer is looking at the moment...
delightful composition with HIM chopped off just enough...
love it all the way
J.

Salut Claire,
la pose était déjà magnifique à la base avec une expression très forte de cette danseuse qui a l'air très engagée dans son tango... mais l'idée du liseret amplifie encore cette scène.
Bravo

Hi Claire.

Simple and superb composition. The black and white is the right choice.

Well done.

Hello Claire,
You created a marvelous dance (Tango, I presume) image! You cropped this dance beautifully and you captured the great passion and fire that dancers have for their art. You framing was very clever and effective as well. the Impressionistic artists/photographers like Degas and Renoir would have loved this effect! I can learn a thing or two from you about "thinking outside of the box (or the frame for that matter)". You are a great and very imaginative photographer!

Claire,
some of the idea come from the photographer's heart. You were included. Your desire.

Je ne sais pas très bien comment l'exprimer. C'est magnifique. Très artistique et cadré et présenté de manière originale et créative, un travail au millimètre. Ce noir profond qui les entoure avec quelques traits plus clairs est pour moi déjà une beauté en soi, on voudrait y plonger. Puis la sensualité du couple, la peau nue contre l'étoffe du veston, les textures. Le visage de l'homme tout juste dans le cadre, son regard doux sur elle, ...plus dure, très intense. Le PP est brillant. Impressionnant Claire, merci pour toute cette beauté, cet amour.

Bien à toi
Michèle

Hi Claire,

The freedom of sharing....

"When I wisper in your ears,it's history of love
When I caress your cheeks,it's spring in us
I feel the butterflies fluttering in your heart
I wake from dream, are you really there, dear?"

For this love and passion of imaging, admirations !!
Image with reality sculptured..

All the best :)

Splendide photo et très beau cadrage aussi, à nouveau j'adore l'expression de la dame, je me plais à penser qu'elle est dans une sorte de transe (pas impossible, non ?)
Mes plus gros compliments,
Cath.

Hello Claire

Pour l`amour...sounds better in french

I can feel the emotion,the love with which they dance...
The energy and the way they live it...they feel it...
A good dance...it`s a little journey,the commitment,the trust they have in each other,the passion,the music...

Beautiful photograph Claire...thank you

My kind regards

i cant take my eyes off of your gallery lately claire... and i guess i like everything about this one... the passion in it expressed by a simple yet a powerful composition, the facial expressions and the body language, the placement of the figures in the compo, the cropping and the frame... what else can i say, just great...my compliments to you claire...

...and i m sorry for your loss...

A fine photo with passion, character and life!
That's how I like it!
Love the intensity, craze and fervor here represented.. sadly it is sometimes too much to handle for some--not even in their imagination, but that is another story.
I believe that tango and flamenco let us express without unnecessary words the emotions that flow in our veins; music is what gets our blood flowing, and the rhythm is what makes us dance and get closer to each other.
That makes us human period no matter where you were born or what you were told.

Best to you Claire!
