[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Greek Festival in Atlanta this weekend. Here are a few of the dancers. Beautiful, colorful costumes, and great talent of the local church community. This has been a very successful event for this cathedral for almost 30 years. Next weekend, another Greek festival at a smaller Greek church. I may attend that one too! OPA!

I cloned out a few spots that I found distracting. Darkened a tad, added contrast, decreased saturation a tad as the reds looked too bright. Resized and sharpened for upload. Yes, I realize that I cut off their feet. I was trying to pay attention to the hands on shoulders and the costumes. I couldn't zoom in any closer, so I opted for not showing the shoes. I would like your opinion on this. Did you notice? Is it an important omission to you?

As always, I appreciate the visits to my gallery and photos. All comments, critiques, help me learn something new each time. thanks again, Lisa

Hi, Lisa -
I like this one - wonderful combination of colors and lots of energy. I have no problem that you did not show the feet - it seems clear to me that the idea was to show the brightly-colored costumes together in a such a pleasing formation. I might have cropped out the guy in black on the right - his dark costume seems to swallow up too much light from the photo. Regardless, I like this one.

great for light, sharpness, color,

congratulation Lisa,

dd, île de la Réunion
