The Dance

Comment by CNovack:
Blurs have to really have punch and capture my imagination and attention - and this does that. This captures the movement of the dance perfectly that a stock still sharp as a tack one cannot. What I also love is the swirl of bright colors on the woman's skirt. It is not just movement of the dance, but capture the colorful sensation of the dance.

He's laughing at me, isn't he?

Very cute! Excellent lighting and capture of details. The one sheep in the backdrop does look it is laughing while the one in the foreground closes it eye and has this resigned look; like it is sighing because it gets this all the time from that one sheep.

I love the rich and vibrant colors on this bird! You captured it with great detail. I can't get over those jewel tone colors - just beautiful.

Another great shot of all the color and festive spirit of the people in this parade. There is so much to look at from the great expressions on each face to the details of the costumes and musical instruments. I greatly enjoyed looking at your series - even though it happened awhile ago your photos place me there so I can delight in all the festivities.

The costumes and color of everyone in this parade is just fantastic! Great capture of the leader as he is glancing our way - I feel he has made eye contact with me as he dances the routine. Love all the color, detail, and sights you captured in this one.

Love the colors! This is a fun photo - love how he is facing the camera and you caught him singing. The colorful sights and sounds of the this festive parade can always be revisited in your photos...going off to look at the rest. Great captures.

Sheer and simple adorable. The joy of the sunshine, flowers, and a smile - she is a beautiful little girl. It makes me think of my girls when they were little - time passes so quickly.

It's late at night and now I am hungry for cookies. Your fault:-) They do look delicious and you photographed them very well that I can see this picture appearing beside the recipe in a cookbook.

Yeah, I'll say:-) - they birds of prey are even more difficult to capture on camera with sharp detail. Nice details and close-up of this beautiful hawk.

What a cute and great moment to capture! That is one tired bear! I like that what you did with the backdrop because of course now one thinks of the Coca-cola polar bears such that the adorable meter now shoots up higher:-)
