[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Entered into this weeks "tye/tie/Thai" theme.

I ried to take something especially for the theme, but struggled a bit - my best effort is in the workshop. instead of posting that, I went through my archives and came up with this one. It was a tricky theme, made me think a bit and was actually good to go through some older photos.

Shot in RAW, jpegged, cropped, resized, sharpened, neatimaged.

Hiya Richard

Shes beautiful and the shot is superb, it seems you and I had the same problem with shooting for this theme. I have to say your W/S is ok though nice bright colours and good DOF. I didnt have anything like as much luck with my shots and had a right tantrum with them last night. So I also ended up posting an older image.. no matter though its all part of the fun.

Superb shot, really sharp with wonderful colour and detail.

TFS and joining in the fun regards Helen

P.S. next weeks theme sports and sporting. that shouldn't pose too many problems :-)

This is a wonderful entry to the theme but I still preffer a previous version (the full body one).


have a great weekend,
v
ps.I love thai cusine

Hi Richard - good Thai-try in the WS, but I much prefer this one - a beautiful capture.

Good shot, Richard. You captured well the gesture of the dancer and the smoothness of the skin.
Regards,
Tibi

Hello Richard!

Wonderful composition, I love the texture and the color of the skin! It's fantastic!

Your picture is full of femininity, flexibility and music!

Thank you,
Adrian

As with the previous shots in this series, the light, tones, sharpness are all excellent here.

Actually I prefer this to any of the others: the crop is closer and the background bokeh softer. There are also more greens and yellows in the colours temperature, which makes a warmer photo.

Nice work!

Hi Richard,
I love the softness in this shot.. I think it is the mask and the mystery of not seeing her face... not sure.. you where able to get the location....

Also I LOVE the WS!

Tricia

Wow what a great shot!!! so perfect in detail and the colors in the gold really pop out at you :-)

Both of your pics are okay for the T3 theme Richard.
Very elegant Thai dancer - she looks quite exquisite, and so tiny - apart from those amazing gold nails.
And your cook book - quite original - I like that one too.

Excellent entry into the theme!
Very elegant capture, Richard! The diagonal is most attractive and the good old thirds rule works perfectly
