love ballet photos.
Beautiful colors and lighting, but the ribs are a bit disturbing.
Spectacular. The black in the background is so deep, it makes the contrasts even more beautiful. And the dancers have such ethereal quality about them.
It totally is like it’s a painting – hard to believe that that was an actual real live moment captured!!
that is the second most beautiful image i’ve seen all day.
[sorry, first is filled by the fact that i’m home with family.]
