[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Pointe shoes, also commonly referred to as toe shoes, are a special type of shoe used by ballet dancers for pointework. They developed from the desire to appear weightless and sylph-like onstage and have evolved to allow extended periods of movement on the tips of the toes (en pointe). Pointe shoes are normally worn only by female dancers, though male dancers may wear them for certain roles, such as the ugly stepsisters in Cinderella, Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream, or men performing as women in dance companies such as Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo and Grandiva. They are manufactured in a variety of colors including pink, yellow-pink, and yellow.

Καλησπέρα Γεωργία,
φωτογραφία καλλιτεχνική σε ασπρόμαυρη έκδοση. Η μικρή ταχύτητα έδωσε ζωντάνια στη φωτογραφία σου.
Ωραία λήψη.
Χαιρετώ, Βασίλης.

Hi Georgia,
excellent B/W image, you have chosen an excellent POV.
I like your choice to photograph only the feet.
Have a nice week end.
Best regards.

Olá Georgia,

beautiful b&W image. Love the composition!

Best regards,
Romeu

nice crop and moment in B&W
well composed,Georgia

best sERGIO

For me an excellent composition Georgia :
that wooden floor leads the way.
Also like the gray-range : no OE, no black as hell.

My " but " - just my opinion : I would have frozen that hand and foot.
I guess the lightconditions where'nt that great :
ISO 500, 1/10 and f/5
Just a matter of taste

Have fun at the ballet school !

Greetings
Jan
