About the Image(s)
Took this a few years at one of the fairs or musical shows I probably attended with one of the clubs in which I was a member.

Bev, your vantage point was very low, elongating the dancer. The ground and background is completely off. The sky becomes a very nice backdrop. I made the background more straight. Posted: 07/08/2025 23:29:41
Thanks. This moving business has thrown me completely off. Have to start researching more of the better old stuff for this group or get out more. I'm very limited as I don't like to leave Stu along for very long periods of time and I don't enjoy going out alone...so I hope you won't mind bearing with me as I try to put the act together.

Bev - Definitely an interesting subject and colorful at that! The look on her face appears to be amusement as she watches you photographing her. B Posted: 07/21/2025 01:47:19

Bev--I think the low POV creates a more dynamic composition with the beautiful sky providing context. I like Isaac's straightened version. Her scarf (veil?) suggests butterfly wings, which is a nice detail. The drum under her left arm is a bit if a problem for me, but overall this is an enjoyable image of an intriguing subject.

Nice Image. POV is beautiful. I would go for a lower number say f/4 or maybe f5.6. Posted: 07/25/2025 18:16:38
