I like this one!

The previous one is very good but this is superb. If I hadn't read the comments I would have thought she was rehearsing and the people behind were getting a sneak preview.
Very, very nice

When I see a flute, Jethro Tull comes to mind instantly. Another good one.

I really like this Endika, from the scene to the subtle tones. Alistair

Thanks for your comments!
Actually this was an unusual performance: an old mansion that will be converted in a public school of music was opened to the public before the works of restorations start. For the occasion, you could find soloists or little ensembles playing in some rooms and halls, so literally you could encounter these concerts in your way. endika

The composition downplays the audience, as if she's in her own space and they're irrelevant - which establishes a lovely sense of intimacy between performer and music. I feel like this sometimes when I'm singing, so I can relate totally. The softness of focus and the muted tone add to the sense of dreamlike suspension in the moment.

Nice athmosphere. The downtoned colour suits the picture very well, so does the blure effect.
Very nice.

Oh, Endika, this is really excellent. We too are listening in on a very private session. But quick! Duck back, don't disturb her and her music. I agree with Colin: Just lovely!

I love the mood you have created with this image. It took me a while to spot the people peeking round the corner at the performer!
Just lovely!
