I thought I wished Langdon the best thing I could: to fly no matter what happens :)
happy birthday!
raw: exposure
noise reduction
CS2: surface blur
burnt the floor to make it totally black
clohned out some "imperfections" on the wall
lighting effects to make an accent on my lighting
levels/curves/contrast
hue/saturation to make the tone
smart sharpen

to Brookied:
freedom has been chosen thousands times before and it does not reflect the idea I wanted to show here at all :) sorry:)
there is no freedom when you have to sit at home some months with a foot like this. I didn't wish Langdon freedom, I wished him to fly - something completely different
good image, title i am not fond off, I would have chosen "freedom". nice B&W process conversion. there is a certain silver tone to this shot which comes over very well.
Can't say I'm surprised, but the quality of movement in the pose is right there. Seems like you took off and went right over most people's heads though. Just don't break the other leg on the way down.
Heh. Thought I recognized you, Svetlana. And the cast clinched it. Not sure how this fits the challenge, honestly, but it's another interesting shot from you. :)
hmm... let's see... what dancers do I know with broken legs?.... hmmm.... it'll come to me. meanwhile, this is a lovely, dynamic image. (I figured out who this is! Frida Kahlo!)
I really like the ambiguous title, the captured moment, and the dance-studio feeling here. My only critique is that since the wall is no near, it looks a bit forced and a tad unnatural set-up for such an albeit natural looking captured motion. I hope that makes sense. 8
