Location: Athens, Greece
Date: Jan 9, 2007
Aperture: f/4.8
ISO: 1000
Shutter: 1/50
Date Uploaded: Jan 13, 2007

A shot from a theatrical play I saw last week. The members of the group [Ex Animo] were kind enough to allow me to take photos during the show.

One of the best performances I saw this year, a humorous approach to the classic play of F.W. Murnau with influences from the book of Bram Stocker, //www.athinorama.gr/theatre/data/performances/default.asp?id=5491 . If you happen to be in Athens - and know Greek (-: - make sure you don't miss it!

Beautiful photograph. I'd love to see it at 100% - the soft color and emotion you captured in her face is incredible.

This is a great photograph but it might have been off-topic a bit. I think essentially that hurt your score most.

Great shot! I would have moved you vaps arm a bit so it is easier to see what he is doing. Your light is fabulous. I am not sure it fits well into the challenge, but whatever at least it is pretty. 7

I love this shot - one of my favorites!

I think this is interesting. This is deffinitely not what would have come to my mind first. I love the darl set up. The draping cloth on the bedlike platform adds nice texture to the overall composition. The thing part that makes the most overall difference is the circle in the backdrop. Without it the man would undoubtedly be less distinguishable.

Something feels off, I can't tell if the image is out of focus or needs to be sharpened

love the colors in this one. was this in a play??

Concept: Excellent. Execution: Fair. Crop detracts immensely from this. A close up to rid the prop of the flat board covered with sheet would have raised the quality of this image a lot! Loss of a lot of detail in the shadows and the pose, covers too much of the action to make me realize immediately how much tooth really went into this image.

focus is a bit off and the hand and arm are across the womans face, i get the idea but it would of had more impact if you used the other hand to hold her head so we can see more of what is going on rather than leaving it to the imagination.. nice set up though, it looks like a shot from a theatre production or something.

Hmmm. I wanted to do a shot that was kind of like this in concept. I wish I could see the faces a little better, but otherwise I really like this... lighting is very dramatic and composition and colors are good.
