Description I worried she was lost in the complexity of the scene... but then decided it was okay.

This is so lovely. The details on there are simply amazing.

I so love how everything is focused, crisp and so well presented.

Very awesome work!

Such a strange and wonderful juxtaposition...delicate rigid body balanced, literally, in an urban stage. I love the lines.

Thanks so much. I was just lucky to find that bridge on my way back from where I actually did the shoot!

nice.. i'm not entirely sure she fits with the background though, since there are quite a lot of dark bits the same colour as her outfit. But i like the idea

We were going to go to her studio and I had the idea of a place outside near this Bridge. Then I saw the bridge and went ...oh yeah!!

whatimagination [2006-01-03 16:23:54 +0000 UTC]

very nice. it's a great juxtaposition between the elegant and the mechanical. i also really like the subtle feeling to the colors - just under-saturated and soft. very nice.

This is definitely one of my favorites of your photographs. I love ballerinas and this is just awesome, especially the scene being so eclectic and...rough compared to her grace and elegance Well done.

justblue [2006-01-02 00:02:11 +0000 UTC]

Great paradox. Don't worry, how would anything that precious ever get lost. Makes me wish so that I was a younger, wealthier, man. I suppose there would be a price to be paid for that- if only unrequited love... er lust. Great shot!

myrnajacobs In reply to justblue [2006-01-03 02:46:25 +0000 UTC]

Younger... maybe if you could keep the awareness you have now. Wealthier?... prices to pay for that sort of thing, but I do feel it can make life considerably easier if you don't take it for granted.

justblue In reply to myrnajacobs [2006-01-03 05:27:23 +0000 UTC]

I know, but I can dream. She is adorable, and you know that I would be nice (but then you should know by now all that I am lacking too!). Take care now- love you too!

I love the contrast between the subject and the location. There is something so wonderful about having her dance outside, almost freeing. Very beautiful shot

equivoque [2006-01-01 20:11:53 +0000 UTC]

the complexity of the scene against the simplicity of a ballerina in black is what makes it. otherwise, you would have a very staid image. nice one.
