MONO - Ballerina by Ross McKelvey (15 marks)
Catchlight Camera Club
What a wonderful shape the ballerina has created in flight. I particularly like the neckline and top hand, not quite so sure of the bottom one but that’s a small thing. I like how the light drops off in the background. Sue Sibley
There are a number of elements in this image that just make it stand out for me. The composition of the ballerina is remarkable, it oozes elegance from the tip of the finger to the flats on her feet. This guides the eye down through the image allowing you to notice those soft highlights and shadows formed by the lighting on the skin. The head tilted back gives perfect separation from the leading arm. The detail in the tutu of the folds bring this to life as it catches the light. - Matthew
