Hi REW
Really, I enjoy looking at this nice shot! I must tell this is one of the best photos which I have already seen on Treklens. You did the best. The tonalité, cadre and light are completely acceptable. I read your note about it and I found it perfect. I give it useful mark.
Have a good continuation and thanks for sharing

Hi Rew,

I think this is a very good shot, a very happy bunch of young people, having lots of happy time and dress up in happy colours.. :D They all look great, happy and cheeky, you should try to make them have some fun by taking a photos like this, a serious one and one that burst into laughter... that will be perfect... :D (just my silly idea.. :P)

They all look very natural, all with beautiful smile...:D Well captured and don't worry about the crop... this photo is about fun fun fun!

Thanks for sharing
Cheers,
Sweety

I see no problem with the crop on Kristy's knees. It seem to be irrelevant to the focus on the group. This is a very good one, Rew! Thanks for sharing!

Rew, they are really full with colors, very contrast with the black background. The smiling is there, very attractive pose, all the best for them and also to you as the camera man, thanks for sharing, cheer, ari

Kicking group portrait, Rew. They should be real happy with this one for their portfolio. Yeah, the bottom crop isn't right, but it doesn't matter. No blinks! (Maybe one squint, from Kami, but it suits him.) Very nice smiles and expressions. Great relationship among them and between them and the camera/photog. Good female to male ratio. But, hey, how come only the women are baring their midriffs? Thanks for sharing more of this enjoyable series of portraits. Best, Hugh

Nice one Rew. Hope they do well in Las Vegas. You arent going to be happy until someone has a go at you over the knees are you. Ok, you left about the same amount on the top as you took off the bottom, happy now?????? It is a great shot, when will you have info on results from Vegas?
Can you rite them on a paper and post it as a photo??? Love to see how they make out.Send them best wishes if you get the chance please.

Very well done, Rew! Actually, I think her knees would have been fine but for the frame which ate them up a bit. Just a bit more careful PP, not a problem at all. Perfect coloring for the fleshtones, good snap, good balance, nice pose.

A super group photo, Rew! Great colorful outfits, well posed. As long as you have the original file, the crop doesn't really matter that much - maybe redo and stick an altered version into the WS?
Cheers

Excellent facial expression on everyone's face, they look so happy.. apart from unintentional cropping, very well managed group photo Rew, as you have proven here, I guess it is not that important what camera one may have but what he can do with it ;) good one

Hi Rew,
Apperantly missed this posting. Absolutely great, the colours are briliant vivid and the posing of the groupo is great. I see a lot of joy on their faces. Excellent posting my friend! TFS.

A very colourful photograph indeed. The one thing that intrigues me is that I am of hispanic background. Salsa is in my blood.... my kids have learned how to dance this, and take in our ethnic culture. However, Salsamba does not have a hispanic member. This blows my mind to see others how well they learn to dance salsa and the many other dances we have. It takes a life time to really perfect these movements of passion and swiftness.

Good job, and let me know how they did in Vegas.

Your dancer's pix are extremely well done. Classic in their ways. I like how you manage a group picture and how you maximize the given space. That is not easy. I know very well.

Cheers!

Ben.
