Description
Samba - the most ecstatic of all ballroom dances. It's sensuality, sexuality and fun on the dancefloor. Because of these criteria I think it's important for the the audience to see the attraction between the couple. And in my opionion that's nicely expressed here.Manipulated:
Cropped
Enhanced contrast
Faded background

Wow.. that's a really great shot! there is an electric air.. and all the charismatic power of the dancer seems to come from his shoulders... I really like the little blur on the girl's skirt..and the "S" created by her bottom and the bend legs..

You're welcome. :]
I was kinda sad to not see more stuff for love146, but all of the TWLOHA support around here is amazing.

You're making my head spin ... what's love146 and what does TWLOHA stand for? Gosh, I feel under-informed.
π: 0 β©: 1
It's okay. :]
The website links should be in my sig, they can give you the most information.
TWLOHA
Love146
TWLOHA stands for To Write Love on Her Arms. Love146 is (along with other things) a movement against child slavery/trafficking.

I can't see your sig. Are you sure you have it enabled?
Wow ... child slavery is a sad subject. I wasn't expecting to get into something so deep; I thought we were talking about gay rights or something. I will check out the links.

I thought I did, but maybe not. I'll check it again.

It is, and it's even sadder that it's still going on. :/ I can't imagine being raised and forced to do the things those children do. Sure, maybe some of them are so young that they don't KNOW any better than how they're raised, but that doesn't make it right...
π: 0 β©: 1
It certainly doesn't make it right, and I'm sure this sort of treatment ALWAYS has a bad influence on the child in question, no matter whether it can compare it's own life to others' or not. How could a child who doesn't experience love, care and the sunny side of life grow up to treasure those exact values?
Abusing children is one of the most destructive things one can do; and it would be quite uncomprehensible HOW ON EARTH people could even go to those dark places if it weren't for countless other examples of menkind's idiocity, arrogance and decay. While there are always individuals with their head set on straight our race as a whole is in a devastated condition; and if we survive another millenium it won't be our credit to take.

Wow, so it's his great-grandmum that he's going to get to know! How brilliant! I only ever met one half of my grandparents, and none of my great-grandparents was alive when I was born.

i like it cos the main subject isn't in the middle of the photo that makes it kinda special
π: 0 β©: 1
great pic, (:
i like the light and that you can't really see the audience.
nicely done,

Looks interesting and fun! I really like how you got so close and got it in a square photo ^^. The contrast and clarity of the dancers make them seem really elegance and the audience around them makes them seem in control.

Yeah, they were totally kicking it.

interesting, really interesting indeed..! love the shadows!

I wonder why it's taken me so long to fav this.
No matter, I shall remedy the issue now!
BTW - Samba is awesome, very awesome. It's just a playful fun sexy dance.

Yep, I totally agree on Samba being awesome. It just is.

Hey i like the new title! Very nice

Hehe yeah, I lay awake aaaaaaall night and tried to figure out something that sounded good and you'd not already proposed.

hey i was just looking at this shot (cos I featured it) and I think the last finishing touch is needed... u should frame it!
π: 0 β©: 1
Awww, here we go - long delay, but I've finally made it to this comment.
First things first, THANX a lot for the feature.
Secondly: The frame. Why would you frame it? How would it be different, why would it be better? Convince me.
π: 0 β©: 1
Hehe ur right... I always said one shouldn't overdo the frame and I still stand by that... A nice frame makes the piece look polished and draws the eyes to the piece itself and enables better focus, and that should be its only purpose... to frame. It shouldn't be PART of the piece and I really dislike all those flashy frames... faded, uneven edges, etc etc
How am I doing for the convincing part?
π: 0 β©: 0
you captured a very intense moment here, they could be caught while making love if the context was different. even the overexposed area of the floor works fine, since it enhances the sensual silhouette of the woman. fading the background was a good idea too... i wonder how would have been blurring it also, maybe this would have added some depth of field and enhanced the dancers even more.
