Ballerina

I went to a ballet school and asked one of the ballerine to pose for me. She was a good performer and, in addition, she was patient 😇

Excellent

[Tanja]

great capture, I'm always amazed by ballerinas' strength

[Joe Ciras]

Very nice capture in low light.

[Phil Howcroft]

this is so beautiful Caterina, it is very much in the fine art genre. You need to print this and frame it on your wall. Top class photography , Bravo

[Peter H]

An instant fav. Beautiful. I'm impressed that you can just wander into a ballet school, and they all comply with every request! 😀

[Angelika van Rooyen]

This is brilliant Caterina, I agree with Phil, you need to frame this!

[Nina Ganci]

outstanding capture, lighting
fav

[Sylvia du Toit]

Fav

[Caterina]

@peadar thank you. Well, when I went to the ballet school I introduced myself and explained that I needed a photo for a photo project of mine on music. I was convincing enough!

[Caterina]

@phil_howcroft @angelikavr thank you very much! I never received such big compliments. I’m really flattered

[Louise]

Beautiful

[Caterina]

@cirasj thank you as a matter of fact there was light in the room, but I used a flash.

[Caterina]

@ninaganci thank you Nina for your many comments and fav’s, really appreciated

[Caterina]

@moonbi @violetlady thank you. And yes ballerinas (would that be the plural of ballerina?) exercise everyday of the year to maintain their strength, even when still in school

[Helen Jane]

you did an amazing job of capturing her pose I have no idea how anyone manages to stay en pointe.

[Taffy]

Absolutely fantastic and an instant fav. This is a beautiful composition!

[Pyrrhula]

Beautiful B+W capture.

[Junko Y]

Oh, oh, oh -- you went to that ballet school !!!!! What a gorgeous photo you took there! You must have been lying on the floor to get this. Fabulous, Caterina!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

This is beautiful! It was an instant fav for me too. Ballerinas amaze me with what they can do with the human body and how gracefully they do it.

[KWind]

Gorgeous!

[Jane Pittenger]

Just gorgeous. B and w is perfect as s the light

Lovely composition. I like the high contrast lighting you choose!

[Caterina]

@jyokota yes Junko, as soon as I got hold of my repaired camera I went to the ballet school and I was complaining inside me that I could not have done it with you

[haskar]

Great close up. Lovely light.

[Monique]

Wonderful shot

Beautiful image.

[william wooderson]

A good friend of mine used to be a ballet dancer. She still has excellent poise and walks straight as a rod!

[Caterina]

@will_wooderson yes no doubt

[Kara]

Stunning! I did ballet for many years, and I just love this picture. Fav for me!

[Rob Z]

You are amazing Caterina - you truly must have the "gift of the gab" . I love the way you can talk to people and they respond to your requests so beautifully. This is so beautifully balanced. :)

[Caterina]

@robz thank you Rob. What is the gift of the gab?

[Leslie]

Perfect

[Rob Z]

@caterina Sorry Caterina ! -it's a good thing - it means that you can relate to people and talk to them easily. And they will respond to you in a similar way because they identify with what you are saying. :)

[Junko Y]

@caterina - well, you KNOW that I will be back :)

[Tom]

Instant fav..absolutely fantastic, great detail composition texturfe, light and shadow.
