The first time I saw this mesmerizing photograph somewhere on the net, no information accompanied it and I remember my first reflex that it was a stunningly glamorous shot of Svetlana Zakharova, a reigning prima-ballerina at Bolshoi Theater in Moscow.

This is a serious complement to the young ballerina of Gwinnett Ballet Theatre whose name I just learned and a tribute to the excellence of the photographer, Mr Richard Calmes, if you take into account that I had a good fortune to watch some of the greatest ballerinas from up-close, the likes of Ekaterina Maximova, Natalia Bessmertnova, Nadezhda Pavlova, Lyudmila Semenyaka, Nina Ananiashvili, Maya Plissetskaya, and even Margot Fonteyn (as a small child).

Classical Ballet is a kind of Art that ennobles the ones who practice it, the ones who love it, and all who come in contact with it. And the current shot is a testimony to this.

Upon learning that the young ballerina portrayed here suffered a horrible car accident with multiple bone fractures, I momentarily burst into tears. Only when I learned that that accident happened months before this picture was taken, and that after 5 months of intensive recovery and ensuing operations the girl miraculously recovered and returned to the barre, I regained my composure.

I would like to confer my warm feelings towards this brave young lady and to the man who immortalized her in this piece of Photographic Art.
