Tango

Comment by LevT:
Hi Paul,
nice to hear from you :)
I agree: B&W works better with tango. I was very lucky to get these shots. They are not "posed" as most of tango shots are, but really snatched from the heat of a real dance, and it shows. This woman (a Russian, believe it or not) is really amazing - she just started tango 3 years ago (a grade student by tango standards) but she is so good, and so in love with it. It also shows, I guess. In fact, I darkened the guy a little bit on this photo to focus more on her amazing face. Glad that you liked it.

Howdy Lev. Long time no see.
This is the most incisive and enduring of the Tango series for me. I like it first because of the subordinate role of the man ... I think the tango is really all about the woman, and the woman dominates this image both compositionally and tonally.
I also like the powerful, passionate personality she projects; the sensual facial features, the slightly disordered hairstyle and even the earthy flash of underarm ... they all speak of the barely contained abandonment that characterises the tango.
And finally I prefer this black and white version of Tango-3 because the best tango dancers are skinny and hard-edged, so the best tango photographs should probably be the same.

As it is, the water is distracting. It is really dark, and would have been better if you used the rule of thirds or cropped it out entirely. The sky seems oversaturated and over contrasty.

It would have more of an impact if their expressions were more suprised.

Beautiful shot. You may have been able to get away with this in the negatove challenge and do well there too. Great colors and detail in the clouds. Very nice. Hey - I just noticed the bird. Bumping up.
