Hi Magda,

I like the composition and speed setup for this image . .
Sharp and focus on the lady . . and little blurry at the rings to show the movement . .
May I know what the aperture here?
And how did you setup the two girls are also sharp?

Tfs,
Tjutjut

Another good capture Magda, with the same excellent subject. Although the moment is not quite unique as in the previous shot, it is indeed difficult to equal that one, the asymmetric position of the rings balances the shot very nicely. I find quite disturbing the way you selectively blurred the people in the background, leaving the buildings in the very background sharp. It us unfortunate that the equipment didn't allow you to use a shallow depth of field for isolating the subject in a more professional fashion. Good light and pleasant colors.

Hello Magda,
wonderful capture of this artist.
Very good sharpness of the woman and the two little girls in the back. How did you manage to get these girls so sharp?
Amazing composition and very well done.
Thanks for sharing

Good subject, nice light, and nice framing with every hoop featured in its entirety.

I do find the background blur PP work unsettling, it seems hastily done, and while I realise you wanted to keep the two girls in focus and isolate them, it all seems a little heavy-handed and careless to me.

Amazing colors and presentation. The blur background certainly gives focus to the artist. Great work.
Thank you for sharing
Kind regards

Tja, Magda, hoe het bij de ene foto kan werken en bij de andere veel minder over komt...
Net als bij je foto "HOOLAAAA HOOP" vind ik de idee zeer goed, maar het komt er minder uit.
Wellicht omdat de blur die je voor je idee moest toepassen nogal ingewikkeld was, maar ook - volgens mij althans - omdat blur misschien niet het meest passende middel was om de hoofdrolspelers in de verf te zetten.
Wat had je gedacht van desatureren van de foto, op de danseres en de twee meisjes na? Dit zou volgens mij veel sterker zijn overgekomen.
Nu, ik heb wel makkelijk praten: zelf vind ik het allesbehalve leuk aan een muis te frunniken om deeltjes van een foto te selecteren. Dus, voilà: de beste stuurlui staan aan wal ;o).
TFS & groetjes,
Erik
