a breathtaking picture

King Douglas Thanks, Wolf...you like ballet?

Wolf Ademeit Yes, in one of my current projects I try to show the beauty and aestetics of human bodies. I just searching for places and people (dancers) and ideas. So I found your marvelous pictures!

BRAVO!!!

King Douglas Thanks, victor, for your many compliments regarding my dance photos. It is unusual to have a ballet master comment and makes your remarks the more meaningful to me, as you are aware of subtleties that others, not trained in classical dance, may fail to see.

Few of my dance images published on 1X.com are actual performance photos. Most are staged as a collaboration between myself and my dancer/models. Some are professional assignments for dancer makers/vendors, but I always attempted to make the photos something the dancer(s) would be proud of.

Thanks again!

I've looked at your portfolio many times and I always return to this image.
A frozen moment above other moments.

King Douglas Thank you, J-Bq. I'e always liked this photo myself, but some are distracted by the wild, fly-away hair. This is Woytek Lowski, a great Polish dancer who passed away some years ago.

Mirela Momanu 3 years ago

Perfect shot! You convince us that he can fly..

King Douglas Thanks very much, Mirela. I think a different crop, with more room around him, gives a better idea of the height of his impressive jump, but I chose a closer crop for this 1X submission.

Welcome back, with a splash.
Good to see/hear from you again.
Now where are those landscapes? :-)

This one is jumpin!

JB

King Douglas Hey, Jerry. Thanks very much for the warm welcome. Nobody (i.e., 1X screeners) likes grainy landscapes. It hurts my feelings, so I've stopped submitting them. Now I can barely stand to look at them myself.

Martin Gremm 3 years ago

King Douglas Yes, I live, but time is getting short. I'll be 65 years old on June 23. Thanks for the enthusiastic welcome.

It is indeed good to have you back King - beautiful and wouldn't expect any less!

King Douglas Hey, Kevin...thanks. And how are things going for you?

Kevin Ng Doing well so far King - so is your personal site completely updated now or have you been up to something else?

King Douglas I'm working on my web site, but I'm not going to upload the modifications for a bit. I'm "upgraded" from Adobe GoLive CS2 to Dreamweaver CS4 and have been working the tutorials. I like Dreamweaver a lot. I'm also learning Adobe Illustrator for a special purpose. I'm also developing a couple of new websites for friends.

I hardly have time for my day job.

May I be the first to welcome you back my friend :-)
Great image !

King Douglas Hey, Stephen...and thanks. Lars Klottrup gets "first welcome" points, but I want you to know that you are the first person I wrote to, answering an OE mail you sent me after my accounT was closed (and which you haven't answered, BTW).

Cheers, my friend.
