I really love this one. It's not just a photography, it's life. It's feeling. You caught the moment, frozen for lifetime. Stunning.

PS: If you ever come to Augsburg, visit me. Would be a pleasure for me.
King Douglas  Thanks very much, id-fotos (do you have a name?). You are aware that this is a planned photo, with my lighting, and not a capture of a performance?

I was driving from Frankfurt to Munich when I made a planned overnight stop at Augsburg. Unfortunately, the opera was going on in the town square that evening and I didn't have a ticket. I enjoyed myself, nevertheless.

I doubt that I will pass through Augsburg again, but it would be my please to meet you in any location.

what a great shot, your eyes vibrate and freeze in the same time with her.
King Douglas  Thanks, gabtudor...what a nice compliment.
gabtudor  Hey King, it was not a compliment, rather I try to state the way it makes me feel. It becomes harder and harder to keep away from the pressure of having automated reactions, yet with diligence one can do it ;)

A huge welcome back, King! What a glorious image, she's so elegant and the lighting shows that off to perfection!

Beautiful.. I often go to dance and I'm always impressed by the combination of power, control, gracefulnes and beauty. This is a wonderful recording of all, very nicely done! Beautiful light
King Douglas  Thank very much, Patricia. I lit this to emulate stage lighting.

Great photo King, nice to see your dance imagery again. Your great knowledge with dance, body expressions and lighting shines through. Striking pose that takes good timing to catch.
King Douglas  You seem easy to please these days, Thomas. Don't let the Gold letters smooth your edges too much. This was a set, so we had repeated chances to get it right. However, thanks very much for the fine compliments.

strong work King. a strong dramatic pose and her cape gives it a beautiful feel of flow and motion, although being tack sharp.
King Douglas  Thanks very much, Koen. Glad you like it.

King returned from self imposed exile...beautifully done! Long live the King!!!
King Douglas  Let's see...one submission a week for fifteen weeks, all rejected--not exactly a self-imposed exile, but I have been lurking in the background, too.
Thanks very much for writing, my friend.

The KING (picture me saying this with curled lip - yes, that is a reference to Elvis) has entered the building. The lighting gives this picture such an incredible sense of flow and movement - it highlights it and yet she is frozen in time - incredible King



King Douglas  Thanks for the smile and the compliment, Kevin.

The King is back! Bravo! Beautiful.

King Douglas  I haven't been gone, exactly...just haven't been able to get published these past few months. I've submitted my most subtle, sophisticated work and that turned out to be a mistake. :>)
Thanks for the compliment, Ernie.

I don't have any other words to say.
King Douglas  If you want to say beautiful, just say DARIA!

Thanks very much.
Perfect moment captured, King. I love the flow of her dress it appears something is pulling her to her back but she wants/needs to go forward. Beautiful.
King Douglas  Thanks, ABK. Your perception agrees with mine. I like the counterpoint.

This is a Beauty! :-)
King Douglas  She's a beautiful woman. Her fiance found a lesser version of this image on my website and asked for a print, so I was motivated to make a higher quality and higher-res file to print, so posted it here as well.
Thanks very much.

King Douglas  "Back" after 15 straight rejections...and I LIKED those photos! Boo Hoo!
I've decided to work on my dance collection. I'm getting ready to create a new series...as soon as I can buy some equipment, so polishing up the old stuff will be a good start in the meantime.
Thanks very much, Clyde.
