happily busted :) by northy

happily busted :)

She was having a lovely time dancing to the music... and then she saw me :)

I love this band... they seem to hang out at yonge-dundas square a lot and play latin american sounding music that just screams heat and sun and summer...

you will notice that this is in full-on colour... hopefully a suitable answer to my get pushed challenge from Rishi which was to do "a lively shot with lots of color"...

here is a video of the band playing this square: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGOCFaMOL20

it occurs to me that i should watch thru these to see if i'm in any of them :)

tx for all the nice comments and favs on my streety shots from yesterday... it's the weekend and hoping to find some corners of time to catch up with ya'all!
@rishi - so... whaddaya think?

You nailed yours. Was it tough for you? Very well met challenge and cool shot. My challenge was tough, too!

@amandal yes - i can't seem to think in colour and i can't process in colour at all... thank heavens for colour efex which helped with the light and dark balance, and the warmth... and let me blur out some of the background to remove distraction...

Loving all the colour. That's one happy dancer.
May 4th, 2013  
Haha, that is so fun! Great shot!
May 4th, 2013  
hahah cool.
May 4th, 2013  
I like the blur effect to the left...
May 4th, 2013  
I like the crop. It didn't bother me that her feet were missing and getting closer makes it more intimate. The colour works because the brightest part is the woman in the foreground.
May 4th, 2013  
Great shot - she has a beautiful smile and clearly was enjoying herself immensely.
May 4th, 2013

May 4th, 2013

I love this! Exactly the kind of shot I was picturing!
May 4th, 2013  
Reach out and touch someone! She looks TRULY happy!
May 4th, 2013  
@still_beachradish i think she was truly happy... that said, it's hard not to feel UP when listening to these guys play...

May 4th, 2013  
That's a great happy shot. You can see the dancer as the subject and you can see where the music is coming from in the background. Lovely.
May 4th, 2013
