Thanks, Grant. I will keep that in mind. Allan, Thanks for the comments. The background is another dancer. He is turning his hand very slowly, as if twirling the other dancer in front of him. She is moving quite fast but in circles on the spot. Good observation on the dress. It was not supposed to be like that, but the choreographer actually liked its baggy look. So, they decided to use it. The opera shot is certainly a much easier shot to make. It probably doesn't as much sense of movement as the first picture; however, I like it very much because of the interactions between the 2 characters. In a way, I feel the shot caught a moment which gave it temporal continuity, even if it is a really minor detail in this phtograph.(posted 8813 days ago)Thanks again to all who replied.
