to Brookied:
freedom has been chosen thousands times before and it does not reflect the idea I wanted to show here at all :) sorry:)
there is no freedom when you have to sit at home some months with a foot like this. I didn't wish Langdon freedom, I wished him to fly - something completely different

good image, title i am not fond off, I would have chosen "freedom". nice B&W process conversion. there is a certain silver tone to this shot which comes over very well.

Can't say I'm surprised, but the quality of movement in the pose is right there. Seems like you took off and went right over most people's heads though. Just don't break the other leg on the way down.

Ah it is our crazy ballerina! Not fair that you can have a broken leg and STILL outshoot almost everyone else!

Very interesting shot Svetlana. Makes you look twice!

Heh. Thought I recognized you, Svetlana. And the cast clinched it. Not sure how this fits the challenge, honestly, but it's another interesting shot from you. :)

Cool pic & lighting, but I don't see how it fits the challenge. Also the dark angled floor distracts from the lovely model.

hmm... let's see... what dancers do I know with broken legs?.... hmmm.... it'll come to me. meanwhile, this is a lovely, dynamic image. (I figured out who this is! Frida Kahlo!)

I am at a lack for a word. I like it though! 7

I really like the ambiguous title, the captured moment, and the dance-studio feeling here. My only critique is that since the wall is no near, it looks a bit forced and a tad unnatural set-up for such an albeit natural looking captured motion. I hope that makes sense. 8

I am not sure how this is a gift to Langdon for his birthday. Did he break his leg?
