Very interesting capture with great composition and colours, I don't sure that the noise in the picture is good for presentation.

Truly amazing to watch those hand movements - not to mention the girls as well - very unusual but fine angle you got this shot in - thanks Gal for showing us this fine work :-)

very nice composition Gal, i see that you have cropped the picture a bit - i don't like cropping ;) in my opinion the picture should be cropped while composing it, not after taking it ;)
anyway, it is a nice shot, very good moment and bold composition. but the image very grainy... that's why I don't use G3 anymore ;) 300D is much better ;)

I would give "Good" but because of good cropping and catching the moment it deserves "Great". Usually you get "Grainy poeple" when you shoot 1/60 with G3. IMHO not grainy but noisy... Greetings from Zug, CH.

Magnifique, une délicatesse que cette image de danceuses sur fond sombre. Le cadrage, format carré photographié par le bas
met plus en valeur les personnages et donne cette impression d'asymétrie. Merci/jr

Hi Gal, very fine composition and angle. I like your crop, I'm glad that the fingers are JUST in. I like the black background very much.

A very dynamic image, Gal. Excellent crop and tilt. The grain adds a lot. I like it.

Very appropriate tight cropping works very well here. Cleverly tilted to get a pyramid composition.
Hands of the dancers seem to be touching where we know this is not a case but only the trick of the perspective.
Again, nicely presented moment of movement with a combination of three main colours that work very well together.
Some may think that some cloning out can be considered (other dancers' hands), but I'm glad you decided differently - in the end, IT IS about hands!
Very fine work, Gal.
(haven't read other critiques before finishing writing mine) ;-D

I like the way the rotation forms a triangle of the figures in the photo. The hand movements look to be very expressive. I also like the rich colours and dark background. Very good composition.

Wonderful composition Gal, exhibiting the same precision you demonstrate with your images of Geneva buildings. I always appreciate the great care you give to your compositions. I appreciate the black background holding the colorful dancers. I'm not as enthusiastic about the grain in this image as some reviewers, but that is too complicated a subject to explore here. I like the dynamic quality of the image very much. Fine work.

Non mais regardez moi ces mains !! c'est vraiment très gracieux, je suis sous le charme. Bien sûr la compo est excellente s'appuyant sur l'élan des bras. c'est très très bien vu ! félicitations.
ps) la main à gauche me gêne un peu, sans doute l'aurais-je fait disparaître.
points demain

Angle de vue superbe pour cette démonstration. La diagonale restitue une dynamique splendide. Le cadrage et les couleurs sont du même tonneau... Merci pour ce partage Gal !

Very well done

Imagem muito dinâmica não só pela inclinação dos corpos mas também pelas posições exóticas das mãos que claramente estão em movimento - quem aguentava estar assim como posição natural? ehehe.
Muito boas cores a adição de ruido.

Wow Gal!!!
Thanks for posting such beauties (I`m a slave of beauty).
Nice position of the girls, that matches perfectly to their dancing movements!
The graininess is a fine detail and they look terrific!
What a pleasure to be there watching live.
Thanks for posting this.

Fine title for a nicely composed and framed picture. I'm not sure I like the noise in this photo however.

one more 'dancers' post and you´ll have one of the most beautiful themes on TE, Gal.
I know nothing about Vietnamese dance, but i could trace the differences in approach if compared to the 'samba' one: you got the smooth yet elegant movements of their hands, their torsos and their relaxed (well, at least apparenttly) facial expressions.
very sensitive of you.

La prise est artistique et l'angle de presentation original donne toute la force a cette image.
J'aime bien le fond noir qui detache trés bien les danseuses.
Bravo Gal.

Great use of angles again Gal. Too late to say anything new, but the I thought of here was how you got the PoV, were you a prevaliged guest?

Very good capture. Your angle fits them in the frame nicely and matches their movements. Sort of twisting around and fluid like are echoed in your angle. The colors are great. Very nice lighting and sharp. Well done.

Adorei suas fotos em PB....muito criativas e inspiradoras, mas preferi comentar esta: adorei a composição, embora ache que talvez esteja um pouco granulada demais para meu gosto. Ainda assim, uma foto fantástica.
Parabéns
