Hi there,

Was invited to be the photographer for the classical dance event (Katrak dance) in my home town. A total of 164 images was taken.
The dancers are from India and they do perform world-wide with their recent performances being in Australia and London.
All pictures was PP with PSCS2 and with NI. The parameters used was obtained from the months of gleaming through this forum...a lot of great posts and suggestions.

Would like to have feedback on the PP technique used and on the overall quality of the pictures (sample attached)

Thank you
Bama

The first one is beautiful but the piece of red in the front is better removed as it takes the eye away from the dancers.

I Think Overbeyond is refering to the red on the lower left floor in the first pic. It does seem a bit distracting as with the mic and stand in #3. Perhaps a bit tighter on the croping

Dear Bama.

I am truly impressed! I do not know how you were able to get such good exposures of moving subjects, but were able to do so with none of the artifacts that often accompany low light level action photography. There is no noticeable noise and everything is in good focus with good color balance, and best of all I do not see any artifacts that usually indicate use of flash.

Hi Robert,

Thank you very much.
Such comments coming from you certainly makes my day.
Your insight in photography has always been a inspiration and motivation for photographers like me and will continue to be so.

I'm glad you like them.

Regards
Bama
