Devil out of his box, a photo from Jawa Tengah, Java

Photographer's Note

In the same place,while tourists are shooting themselves beside of the male dancers.
females ones are here, in tha shadow, boried I suppose by this moment, I am here too, I had spent a moment with them before and during the performance , they don't care about my presence , I am like transparent.
Since a while ,I observed a man with his wife, taking pictures of the group, but looking in our direction in the same time, attracted by theese charming women.
He finally decide to come and make irruption, as a devil comes out of his box from behind of a pilar.
Very proud of him, as you can see it,
Unfortunely for him,and for me finally, the beautiful creatures choosed this moment to remove...
The dream is over...
What interests me, in this picture, is not only the nice faces, it's the juxtaposition with this tourist coming into the frame.

Bonjour Joлl,
Et bravo pour cet instant saisi а ces superbes crйatures...
C'est vraiment bien vu. Dommage pour le touriste а geuche, il faut toujours emmener avec soi son piиge а Japonais...
Amicalement. Christian

hi Joel. Another nice shot of these ladies. the composition here is not as good (I think) because you have this other person covered. but it is nice and sharp, good colors and detail.

Wow..."Mannil vantha dhevathai!"... - A angel who has come down to the earth!...
You have caught really the effect...The Bored angel, Excited angel...
I would have liked to see the one in the foreground with Wide spread eys, expressive face to be in focus...But still, this has some kind of magic with the Juxtaposed of the eagerness in the far off tourist...
Thanks,
Prem.
