This is a really nice shot. What I particularly like is the use of light here. Its got a great feel based upon the moody light that seems to be lamped but mimics warm daylight or candle light.
It also has an honesty as it is not particularly flattering but more real, and that is a plus artistically.

How Sevil???
How has everybody not seen this?
Is there images on this site that I have not seen that come close to this?
I wish I had not seen it and was seeing it again for the first time.

The Ballerina

I make my body art.
I make my body lines
and fine French words.
I make my body lives
and terrible deaths.
I make my body not a body
but a story.

My body is not me.
My body speaks
but I am silent to you
and my heart
is in the dressing room.

Tone, Shapes, Colors, Crop, everything comes together here so well. One of the most creative portfolios I have seen. The variety is very impressive. I will be back to see more.

I remember this shot and still love it! The (your) body position is amazing and the simple yet perfect use of the thirds is wonderful! I hope you score well!

Cool image, I think that not showing her face may enhance this image, instead of focusing on her emotion, we see the beuty in the form and movement. Cool lighting, great job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/26/2006 02:42:31 PM
I think I would preferred this in black and white. Very cool composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/26/2006 10:03:23 AM
I love this, I think it is one of my favs for this challenge. Good use of post processing that has not killed the photo. So cool.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/26/2006 06:51:02 AM
It just bothers me a little, that you made the choice of not including her head, sorry about that.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/25/2006 11:53:42 AM
This is a creative way of framing/cropping your image. I like the pose of the legs, but the arms seem much too static, they don't fir the grace of the rest of the image.
I think this would have been much better as a B/W image. (That would also have removed the colour noise on the legs.) 9.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/23/2006 02:17:53 AM
Clever mix of the depersonalising and the humanising. The body position is awkward yet graceful. The processing adds to the outlandish mood. Good work

I really like the feel of this image. The colors seem to be well suited for it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/22/2006 06:00:00 AM
Love the colour and lighting
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/21/2006 08:11:52 PM
Interesting,like the use of colour, would like to have seen maybe a bit of the neck and bottom of chin...jsut a personal thing though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/21/2006 02:12:54 PM
always loved this. the lighting, the tones, the tension. good luck!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I liked this in the folio, and still like this here. The crop is definitely punchy and eerie and the color toning is very nice. A very evocative image, and quite an eye to grab it. Some moire on the skin, and that's the only reason this isn't a 10 for me right now. Could be my screen, though, but I'd guess this was also fairly high iso. 9. That you B?

01/20/2006 08:07:36 AM
Great pose. I like the raw feel to it and the colors.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/20/2006 04:19:01 AM
Excellent post processing...beautiful warm tones. A very alluring image, made more so by the inspired crop.

Cool texture and lighting!

good shot but i find that the cropping a little ackward. nice legs. 7

high mark for originalty of composition ... great color and form
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/19/2006 09:39:33 AM
nice contortion. I'm not keen on the yellow/green lighting, but that's a personal thing. Nice composition, the shadows work, and it's a pretty technically good photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/19/2006 05:34:46 AM
yebo, very nice!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I love the originality of this shot. Well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/18/2006 04:33:10 PM
intriguing and artistic
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/18/2006 01:04:59 PM
Finally something worth really looking at. Good image, I like it. Effective toning, I like this kind of style, although the glaring on the shins of the legs comes over a touch too harsh, the image works for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/18/2006 12:11:22 PM
i like that it's not typical and almost has a vintage feel to it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/18/2006 11:12:06 AM
My number one choice of my four 10's in the challenge,
It has tension and beauty together. Several bold, unorthodox ideas are combined with just enough convention to reassure any viewer who begins to feel too disoriented. Such an original and subtly erotic tribute to the subject ... but that's not all! All this is done without the inclusion of a single photographic cliche. A beautiful work. 10.5

nice turn out...

10 from me...good luck!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/17/2006 05:00:31 PM
I really like the colour toning on this shot, it's an unusual but effective choice. The composition is also very effective in my eyes,
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/17/2006 01:58:08 PM
Great lighting. Great colors. Great job...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/17/2006 12:21:55 PM
There's a lot I like about this. I really like the lighting, color and the background. The only thing I don't like is the head being chopped off but if you needed to do that I think a tighter crop (from her waist down and maybe her arm out of the shot) might work better.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/17/2006 09:34:35 AM
The photo lighting is interesting, but the model pose is just not natural. 5
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2006 06:54:52 PM
Ah yes....She. 10.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2006 04:28:56 PM
I've been looking at this for about three minutes and can't pin-point what it is exactly that draws me to it. i really enjoy it tho. :)
Good job!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2006 12:12:45 PM
This is an amazing amazing work of art. If I could vote twice I would give it two tens. I'm sure it used to be in my favorites but I cant remember who's image it is. I love the light and shadow on her calfs, the awkward position of her toes, the relaxed hang of her fingers, the underwear, the headless anomimity, the unusual beackgroudn color, the grain. This might be my most favorite picture EVER!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2006 11:53:02 AM
I love this one, man. Good choice. Straight up 10.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2006 08:09:52 AM
Yes
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2006 06:47:39 AM
Funky! I like that you've cropped away the head - makes it at once universal and private/ intimate. Great composition. Yellow lighting actually works well. The colour noise seems a bit high - particularly obvious on her skin.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2006 05:52:49 AM
Excellent choice for the Best of! : } Such an amazing image...so good.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2006 02:52:08 AM
why cut off the head?
Interesting pose
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/15/2006 08:48:39 PM
Really cool. Has that dragan effect with the colors. Love the lighting. I remember this, and liked it then. Still do.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/15/2006 07:56:07 PM
I'm guessing this is one of yours bucket? I really like this shot allot! Composition, pose and tones make this one a powerful entry. Well done!
