Bonjour Bev,
Très interessent ce côté graphique.
Tableau monochrome avec juste cette touche de couleurs, c'est beau pour l'oeil.
Peut être un peu trop de contraste (je dis cela par rapport aux visages).
Bonne soirée

Excellent composition and use of visual elements! The steps provide an appealing background to showcase the women and their colorful dress. I love the sychronized look of their postures and body angles complimented against the lines and angles of the steps. Super!

Bev, I think this image has tremendous potential, but you didn't get everything out that's in it, IMO. I made a workshop to show you my version. Problems I see are: a slight lack of sharpness, the perspective on the stairways, and an underexposure on the ladies, combined with rather flat colours.
I like the compo, and it is a nice scene. Well spotted, TFS

Hi Bev: You Have posted a Beauty!!!!.. I love the subject the composition and the whole technical aspect of the photo..... and I love the whimsy in it , so lighthearted ...... its In my faves .......Thanks Roman:0)

Hello Bev,

What a shot! You did well to spot this!
The women's postures are so in-tune! They look like two pieces of a jigsaw! (Did you ever see two men doing the sand dance?)

The fabrics have amazing patterns and the one on the left picks up the lined pattern of the steps!
I like the workshop which realises the true potential of this unique shot!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

What a wonderful composition Bev - it looks like you have placed these ladies in just the right place... but I do like Frank's workshop - he has brought out more of the beauty and details of your image. Still a wonderful find

Such a pity you were so far away Bev, closer and the light would have been better for you. A good workshop by Frank but we always need a starting point to perform PP and your image is it. Good colour and repetitions. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Japanese Garden’

Hi Bev

I love the framing of this shot, nicely done. I love the lines. It makes a bold image

Hello Bev,
A very unique and original shot with great composition.I like the patterns of the stairs against the exuberance of the native dress.
Dingo also did a good job in the WS.
