Continues to be one of the cooler 'evolving' galleries on pbase at the moment. Like your 'hands' gallery was not long ago. I like the dark saturation and tight focus on many of the photos. Good stuff, Chris.

beautiful gallery, giving us glimpses into another world. v

Guest		18-Dec-2006 19:43
It was a challenge to do a better Gallery than your "Hands". In my opinion you did it, this Dance Gallery is better yet, besides being much more demanding. Congratulations and thanks for this Xmas gift to a Ballet fan, like me. Kind regards jorge

Guest		28-Nov-2006 09:41
chris, congrats for the success of this gallery. you've done well in taking a different approach of other dance galleries. in choosing tight croppings, you've successfully showcast the intense expression of the dancers. indeed, very nice atomosphere. and as phil has said, the movements of the dancers are implied rather than shown explicitly. great job. cheers, norman.

Guest		28-Nov-2006 02:34
Outstanding gallery design. Congratulations on the final result. Worked out perfectly.

Pauline		28-Nov-2006 01:39
I voted! Your photographs are very dramatic! Stunning! I enjoy the variation in treatment or color offered. Ads to the drama!! Wonderful gallery!!

Guest		28-Nov-2006 01:35
Chris, I've seen plenty of dance galleries.. but noone has the ability of showing the passion, the strength, the intense mood, the concentration and the feelings that the dance envolve in such a wonderful way. A masterpiece! (hope more photos will come in the future!). Congrats!! Marisa

Latifa Messaoudi		27-Nov-2006 22:49

Great gallery, full of energy. Vote.

Phil Douglis		26-Nov-2006 20:04
The expressive power of these images, Chris, rests in your use of abstraction. Not only do you seek an essence through the interplay of light and shadow, but you also show us less of the dances in order to say more. The most amazing aspect of these images is that none show the feet of the dancers. Movement, grace, strength, and balance are implied, rather than shown.

wernere01		26-Nov-2006 19:58
Great gallery. Each pic is superb. You can feel the passion and emotions. Big vote!

Guest		26-Nov-2006 18:19
Excellent, in the same principle of your "Hands" series.You do a great work, working with the no light.Yes, It is a style of light/no light, not a B&W. Most can say , is the same, but to me is not. In the B&W we´ve grays and all gradients between black and white. Here, you have light to stress some shapes and no light. You do a selection of what matters more to you. Congratulations, Chris, for a very fine work. jorge

Martha Albuquerque		26-Nov-2006 17:44
Another brillant work of yours just coming up, Chris! Thanks for that! Looking for more, my Big Vote.. Martha

Arnulf M. Elvevold		26-Nov-2006 17:33

Kees Terberg		26-Nov-2006 01:11
These are truely magnificent. I'd personally be inclined to stick to either colour or monochrome for the same gallery but this is one heck of a series. Beautiful!

jude		26-Nov-2006 00:52
I have to say what I like best is the use of lighting - seemingly natural lighting - and the way they are composed within the image.. great gallery, Chris

sebas veldhuisen		26-Nov-2006 00:31
Such a beautiful gallery Chris! You make very good use of the direct light in your zoomed in compositions. Vote
