Awwwwesome! I'm so glad you entered this. I would have given it a ribbon, but they didn't let me decide. Imagine that :) Congratulations on such amazing work here!
Dang, I figured this one might have been yours based on location and sense of space, but it's not "typical" Pawdrix. I gave it a 10, along with the park-bench dude, and am disappointed it did not ribbon. Wonderful image.
Missed this in voting. What a scene. The mood of the dancer on her right seems appropriate. She is dark, her hair, jacket, dance attire, as is the graffiti behind her. Contrasts with the mood of the other dancers. You couldn't have posed them better! Great work Steve.
Very nice work, Mr Hill. I quite like the young lady picture left, who seems to be enjoying this outing. Excellent backdrop - grace against the hustle and gray of a city. (Commenting drive-by only.)
There are so many good things happening with this image.
I like the urban setting . I love how it is a candid
I love the contrast in textures ... The soft vs hard Very well shot
So much story going on here, this really is a very nice street candid. You totally nailed the background blur...enough to give place, but not so much as to overwhelm. Very nice photograph!
nice capture. I especially like the delicate vs. urban setting. great contrast between the centered subject and her crude surroundings. perfect DOF to mute the background autos and such...very nice 8
Killer good shot! I'm only 5 images into voting, but I can say in all sincerity "I hope this ribbons!" Good luck to you. 10 from me. What a "naturally" flawless image this is, what a slice of life it is. I'm curious whether they knew you were shooting them? I'm guessing not, seems to be a long tele shot... Feel free to PM me and tell me, my vote isn't changing.
I suspect you may be getting some comments of "distracting elements" regarding the background. However, this is clearly street photography and such things are outside the control of the photographer. You did the best possible with that aspect, and captured a unique moment that looks slightly out of place on a busy city street.
This is a great capture, I love the fun element in the shot.. you always see ballet dancers in a big hall, bringing the street character with the graffiti in the background is just amazing thought! (My pick for red) 9
