Why so serious?

Posted by Em!ly Ng (Residing in: Adelaide, Australia | Home:, Singapore) on 1 December 2008 in People & Portrait.

This dance was really enjoyable. It was humerous, guys in tutus with joyful movements (which sadly, i can't really remember thou).

They didnt take themselves too seriously and at the same time, had pride in their dance. Hope i won't take photography too seriously and bring joy into photos.. Onwards in the search of humor!

Previous photo was taken during the performances after this lol..

Post-processing: hmm kinda dark for a joyful photo. Reminds me of singers (Mika, Jason Mraz) who would sing happy sounding songs with the saddest lyrics. Not sure how effective this is here.

Retake: i would have got more of their reflection in - perhaps portrait instead of landscape.

Updated every Friday.

Comments appreciated, constructive criticism adored.
What do you like or not like about the photo?

Thank you for taking the time to browse through my photos.

Sorry, I'm a bit tight for time but i'll definitely am curious & will check out your photos ^__^

Hafta say I prefer the composition in landscape format like this and I like the space you have left for the dance to continue. A portrait format would have been a little constraining, I believe - even with the plus of the reflections !
