Preparing for the Show

I really enjoy this shot. Been looking at it for a while trying to put the words together. Even without the title, the guy fixing his bowtie does look as though he's getting ready for a show. What I like is everyone else is also dressed nicely, doing their own thing, as if the show is close to starting. It's impressive because it doesn't look staged. But the best thing I love about this is the person in the middle who doesn't fit. And I've wondered if they're not the actual one getting ready for a show. This shot really makes me think and look deep into your thoughts when looking at this before snapping the shot. The only suggestion I can give it the water in the fountain. It looks as though it's a little blown out. But seeing the light on the ladies heads on the left tells me it's directly on the water which probably didn't help at all. Not sure if it was unavoidable. Ok done with the war a peace comment, great photo, really, really enjoyed viewing this. 8

Such an emotional image. Love how you chose to shoot them from behind. Gives it more impact. The reflections and red walls really add a lot. Great angle to boot. Well done.

Love the soft lines you achieved here. She really has a lot of personality to her face. Really like how her hair falls over her right eye and produces a nice shadow. Crop and her angle is great.

Very IMPRESSIVE! This composition is outstanding. Seriously, for a moment there, I thought the subject was a statue with some nice paint. Such a wonderful image to view.

Stunning...captivating and sheer beauty. It also presents a bit of mystery for me. The dark in the front with the rays coming in from the back make that happen. The pose they presented to you was such a gesture. Again, beautiful!

Ya know - this is so perfectly captured I feel like I'm there. Love the color of the water and rocks and then BAM look what's waiting in the BG. Nicely done.

Like your point of focus on just her eye. Some say the eye is a window to our soul. It's interesting because I tend too see that here. Really nice image.
