Absolutly stunning photography, such a lot of joy from those images!

I like it, I like it!! I really love the way the ballerina adds the high impact to the picture surroundings. Its like you see the everyday things in the picture, then, WHAM, the breathtaking beauty is there to enhance her surroundings. Thank you for putting up this gallery. Great work!!!

As a dentist and a dancer, I was excited to see your photos. I've always wanted to take a photo in an arabesque pose holding a giant toothbrush over my head.

Guest		07-Mar-2008 03:40
I like it but i hate it when it's in black and white. Is there a gallery with this in color?

From almost a year ago, to now; glad to see this gallery rediscovered Richard. Like they say about a good brandy . . .;-) g

Guest		30-Apr-2007 14:28
What can one add to what has already been said? Ballerinas are unearthly creatures we turn our few talented children into. Unbelievably graceful, committed, strong, and beautiful they dance their lives in absorbing light. Your juxtapositioning of such a lovely lady in such mundane surroundings reminds us again how utterly different they are. Well conceptualized, well executed. This deserves a gallery show in a fine gallery. Kudos and votes, Ells

Guest		06-Jun-2006 23:00
this one is another of your top class works Richard,i like the way you opted for BW for this series .i think colour wud´ve brought some distractions in the background,here the main subject simply stands out so perfectly, all well composed shots, wish i can find a model to do something like this(just dreaming:-). excellent work.

Cristine Varney		06-Jun-2006 17:58
This entire series is a brilliant idea and a beyond excellent execution... They look like some alien and far superior life form, visiting us humans and wondering why we do not shine and sparkle as do they %:)... Votes Votes and so much enjoyment in viewing your exquisite presentations... ~cristine
