What a precious shot - the little one imitating the older girls. Not sure why it doesn't seem very sharp to me. Nice reflections in the foreground floor.
Hahaha, well spotted. I think there are a few elements that could be improved here, but, being an amateur I can't put my finger on them exactly. Maybe a slightly different framing/crop?
This image takes a moment to register. I'm first drawn to the dancers in white, who seem to be tottering and not all that graceful. Then my eye travels across the scene to discover the tiny ballerina. Wonderful
What a capture. The fact that she ripped off her tu-tu cracks me up. I have worked enough back stage reticals to know that the little ones can't wait to get undressed.
This is my favorite of the 2011 shots. Lots of beautiful landscapes, but only one Eleanor! The position of her hands is exquisite..and sweet. I hope with all my heart this wins a ribbon. 10
Like swans, they dance & twirl in the spotlight.
I picture myself dressed in their white plumage.
Arms extended to the sky and ready to take flight.
I watch and wait in the wings.
What a fortuitous capture! I love how the little girl looks on from offstage. It makes me think of Swan Lake and she is the little cygnet waiting her turn to take flight on stage.
For some reason I can´t help but wonder if I wouldn´t have liked this image better in black and white since there are no strong colors in it, but I like this shot, the girl in the foreground makes it.
