It's SUPER strong in BW Magda! In fact, I think color would distract! Love how she is looking in, her face is clear, but the rest of the body is moving! What is nice is the man watching her...very sexy! Nice work on this one!

Hi Magda,
Love the action in this shot. The detail in her face is wonderful. The slight blur in her hands, hair and body show nice movement. I really like the DOF and the people watching. Great color choice for this shot. Nice work.
Regards,
Kevin

hello Magda,
stillnes and movement. We see the movement in the swirl of her hair and movemnet of her right arm. But there is stillness there too. She seems to be inward looking (metaphorically speaking, in her own world and she has a stillness there.Good in black and white as we don't need the "activity" of colour.

Hi Magda

Good motion blur, with a superb tonal range, & excellent lighting & framing. A superb decisive moment too, capturing the wildly flaying hair. Tfs!

Hi Magda
This is a great capture of this lady in action with sharp image, backlight glow and good background blur. I agree that the sense of movement gives to the reality of perfomance. The B/W shot in this case has worked very well. I welcome your critique in some of my enviornmental fair shot.
Well done
Regards

Effectively, the movement is stronger with B/W. Nice capture of the light !

This is a pretty good capture of a very appealing model in action. The composition is excellent and you captured the action in an amazing moment: One can read on her face that the performer enjoys the moment and her hair describes both the intensity of the movement and the bohemian character of her personality. What I dislike is the poor technical quality of this image, which seems to be due to incompletely frozen motion or camera shake, either way, a slow shutter speed. It also seems that this is the result of a petty severe crop from a larger image. It would be nice to have the technical details of this shot.

Hi Magda,
Beautiful capture of this intense moment!
The light blur makes all sense at the image !
Yes, this performer seems totally in her own world, this is the interest of this photo. Very good B&W! I love that I see! Bravo! Annie

Nice composition and nice clean crop on this.

Trying to make up my mind how I feel about the motion blur, it gives it dynamism I guess, and at least her face is sharp, which is the most important part.

For some reason the bald guy in the background draws my attention!

Nogmaals hallo Magda,
Deze valt me vooral op door de combinatie van twee elementen: beweging enerzijds en verinnerlijking van diezelfde beweging anderzijds. Zoals je in je note aangeeft: de danseres belééft echt haar act, ze gaat er volledig in op.
De keuze voor zwartwit past bij die sfeer en, zoals Rew zegt: de man in de achtergrond is intrigerend. Hoewel flou, heeft hij présence, alsof hij de danseres via telepathie leidt...
Kortom: je was de juiste fotografe op de juiste plaats én op het juiste moment...
TFS & groetjes!
Erik

MAGDA !!!!!!!

It's a photography...
The real one...Pulsating...Vibrating... Exciting...

A PHOTOGRAPHY...

A rare rarity on the site with hundred of thousands posts, yet...
It can happen once in a while - can it ?

Love every out of focus pixel in there (basically: All of them !)...
Love the moment, love the framing, love the dynamics...
I tell you even more: I'd like to be an author of it...
..............

About that 'out of focus stuff in there...
Only one per one thousand such cases should be aproved...
This is the one ...

Ciao, gal...
Stay vibrant
