Superb capture !...impressive work by both you and the dancer..

King Douglas Thanks for the recognition of the dancer's contribution Steve. Most of my dance images are collaborations between the dancer and me. Few of my dance photos are spontaneous. All of the studio images are carefully lit to show off the specific pose that we have decided upon, as this one was.

The clearness of the lines and the austerity of the film; dancer and photographer through different arts pursuing the same vision... Thank you again, King!

King Douglas Thanks very much for the high praise, Dinu.

I love ballet and this captures the essence!

King Douglas Thank you, Rena. Rena was my mother's name...rather, her name was Wrennie which she changed to Rena. That was almost 100 years ago.

Ballet in all its beauty.. what a fine piece of art!!

King Douglas Thanks very much, Rita. Did you take ballet as a kid? So you are a summa grad...impressive. Cheers, King

Rita LaVeck I did take ballet as a kid.. could never achieve what is pictured here, but I loved it anyway! :)

sublime!! that's the King!

King Douglas Thank you Nicolas. Do you follow professional cycling? An Argentine won a stage of the recent Vuelta de Espana...the first stage win by an Argntine in one of the three major road races. Go Argentina!

Nicolas Marino wow, that's something i didnt know. I'm not much into professional cycling. On the other hand, i'm leaving for Tibet again in 3 days. 3 weeks, passes up to 17000+ft, 1000miles in some really remote regions. mid summer was already 35F. I won't win any prize but Tibetans really have got my heart =?

King Douglas Nicolas...you continue to amaze me. Que tengas un buen viaje!

It has always fascinated me how they can stand on those toes...
Lovely poetry that you bring to us here, poetry that does not need words.
The song that accompanies this is in our minds. And it is light, and has a fleeting feel.
Good to see and live your specialized work again.

King Douglas No, it didn't reappear, so thank you again for all the wonderful things you see in this photo.

King Douglas Andre,

I left a thorough response to your generous message, but it seems to have disappeared. Perhaps it will reappear when I click the "write" button.
