This image is a beauty, King, you've, you're and you'll always create magic! Love this!
King Douglas  Thanks, Codrin. As hard as I worked to create this image, you seem to have created a very similar image almost effortlessly:

That quality of appearing to be effortless is characteristic of great art and great artists. It is something to be strived for, as I did when I was a ballet dancer. But somehow I seem to have less respect for my photography if it appears to be too easy (whether it is easy or not).

One of the things that I enjoy in your work is how you make it look easy, when it isn't.

really lovely image King. All these flowing blurry dresses make a wonderful colour pallet and the, the dancer in blue just right of center with her pin sharp features seem to anchor the whole image beautifully. mal
King Douglas  I agree completely. Thank, Mal.
