I really like this photo, the noise and textures add to the gritty feel of it. I myself am a ballet dancer and seeing images like this that don't just conform to pretty ballerinas in tutus is great, the real life of a dancer is much more painful and less romantic than one would expect.
Jennifer Short  Thank you for your words. I appreciate them very much. My daughter is a ballerina and I have seen the pain from her eyes. I look forward to seeing some of your work. Ballet images I find so compelling and interesting. Take care and thanks again.

I just love toe shoes and know how crippling they are the feet beneath. This is wonderful.

Do you have a friend/child in the cast, Jennifer? I've been to too many recitals...my face muscles automatically freeze into a smile when I see shots like this. Your image inspired me to post one of my toe-shoe shots, but it is in screening and I don't know if it will be published.

Good work,

King
Jennifer Short  Thanks King....yes, my daughter is a ballet dancer. She loves it.

A favorit from sceening, just beautifull. Color, comp, dof, motif work very well together. And I like the reflections, gives a nice feeling of the surface...

Very well composed. Love the choise of DOF.
A great shot that maybe should be even better without the reflection at the bottom if I may say so :)
Best regards Carola
