What a wonderful image - it really captured me! The effect of the photo in black and white with these costumes, movement and even the sky above is really unique! And great POV and overall capture of the movement here - though not seen, it is sensed. Fantastic!

Sol taraftaki bosluk fotografin geneliyle kiyaslandiginda biraz dengeyi bozsa da, harika bir bir fotograf. ben olsam kontrasti azicik dusururdum ama boyle de hos, `Sin City` filminden bir sahne gibi olmus. Ellerinize saglik.

bpelvan (3798) 2006-02-15 8:13

Merhaba Baykal,
Gerçekten çok çok iyi bir S/B çalışma. Güzel bir noktadan almışsın ve harika bir kompozisyon olmuş.

Amandine (1072) 2006-02-15 9:26

This shot is very well done. The point of view so down is well chgosen so it drives the composition more original. You succeeded in capturing the move and B&W seems to stop the men for a few seconds. I nade a WS in order to see if I can get a clearer picture. Anyway, it's very well done

Baykal,
Wow...
A fantastic shot!...Almost timeless...
The POV & the Light balance fantastic!...
I am thrilled..
Thanks,
Prem.

stevep (556) 2006-08-25 23:14

This is art, well done.

I wonder though, what kind of post-processing you've done to achieve this? It's hard to tell; was this on a stage or is that sky real?

It IS a great photo but there IS a slightly unreal element that distracts me, though its alot less apparent than in your 'health' photo.

regardless, great job.
thanks for posting.
steve

p.s. I am adding it to my favorites. thx again.

Benedict (7076) 2006-08-25 23:16

daddo (28748) 2006-11-28 7:27

Greetings Baykal. Wonderful shot that catches the spirit of the sacred dance.The B&W treatment accentuates the sky and makes the dancers look as if they are about to fly. Beautiful. Salaam. Klaudio.

abulafia (4900) 2007-12-04 15:28

Wow this is good Baykal!
Wonderful B+W treatment, but also the low pov and the very dramatic sky as background works wonders here.
Truly spectacular.
Harry

branley (3681) 2007-12-04 15:35

Hi Baykal,

there's a great feeling of movement in your shot and emphasised even more by the low pov. The conversion to B&W is spot on and makes it a superb capture, well done.

Regards

Stephen

Charrua (284) 2008-02-05 7:16

Excellent composition. The angle of capture is about perfect. The bodies seem to be moving. The gray tones of the sky add some mystical feeling.

broglia (3604) 2008-02-05 7:39

Excellente prise, j'adore les tons gris si bien exposés et mis en scène. L'action est à son comble et le ciel gris est de plus menaçant... bravo!
