Photographer's Note
This is my second post showing the beautiful and sensual Tango in a typical pose.
I catch this couple watching the night show at "Esquina Carlos Gardel", one of the most elegant tango's houses fro m Buenos Aires. The place in the past was the restaurant where Carlos Gardel used to frequent with his friends. The name was "Chanta Cuatro".
The image was cropped a little bit before convert it to b&w. It's a hand held photo.

Zeca

How did you manage that hand held? I like the way you choose to have the dancers in one side, leaving so much darkness in it.

Bonjour
Ayant un amour et pour cette musique, et pour cette danse, je suis particulièrement sensible à ta photo. Je trouve qu'elle transmet toute la dramturgie du tango. Le choix minimaliste permet de se laisser complètement aboserver par la position des danseurs et par ce qui se joue entre eux. Le résultat est superbe et chargé d'émotions. J'aime énormément!

Hi, Jose. The lighting is really great in this picture. The black part on the right keeps the focus on the two dancers. Their attitude is very elegant. I like the diagonal line made by the dancer's leg and arm and their very close look.

Hello Zeca,
I'm back here after a long while off. Thanks for your passage in my gallery.
Zeca, I like the minimalistic style of the picture with all the right side in the dark and that nice light over the two dancers. The 2 dancers are very sensual, looking in each others eyes like that. We can only see the man's head an shoulders(only a peak of his leg).
That's nice,
Marc

Hi Jose,
This is pure poetry. A painting made with light, tracing just the profile of the dancers. Elegant, delicate and passionate...The best expression I have ever seen of the tango dance. What else I can say? Just, bravo!!!!

Hello Mr. Hauer,
A real Buenos Aires soul in this one. It has always been a dream for me to take such a shot, but here in Turkey, it is really a little possibility to find such a couple in such a light. The use of black incresed the power extremely, and the light with the compo of the figures creates a lovely result. I bet, many people would love to see this image hanging on their wall. I am one of them. Congrats!

The contrasty side lighting makes this image. The lack of detail in the shadows is perfect and forces the viewer to the dancers. I think this is a perfect rendition of the tango. Bravo, Well done!!

Hi Jose,
You managed to reflect the passion and sensuality of the moment. The lighting is good and the details are clear enough. It's a good thing that you shot it hand-held because if it were pin sharp, it might not look so romantic. The slight blur gives it a magical touch. Well done.

Hello José,
Thanks to your critique on one of my pictures, I am discovering your gallery with a lot of impressive pictures. This image is very expressive and the composition s great. The play of shadows and light is superb and gives all the strenght to the scene. Of course, the b&w processing enhances all this?
Very nice work !
Have a nice evening.

Hello José
I can only join the chorus of admirers of this magnificently composed action shot. The tango is by far the most sensual and photogenic of dances, but especially if you have performers who are themselves sensual and photogenic (the alternative is disasterous). Clearly everyone else here realizes you've achieved both conditions. Well done,
Um abraço,
Bulent

Hi josé
Wonderful......
Difficult to find the words to describe my emotion atdiscovering your photo.
To me, dance is the union of two persons, speaking the same language, the languae of the body and the soul, to become BEAUTY.
The play of light contouring their bodies, barely visible, but so much revealing at the same time.
Have a good week
Charles

Olá Zeca,
Talvez a melhor foto que eu já vi de tango. É impressionante a beleza oculta na zona negra e mostrada na zona de luz.
Não percebo nada de fotografia, mas se isto se chama minimalismo, viva o minimalismo!
Ao ver esta foto pensei na celebração do casal Kirchner ;-)
Um abraço, F.

Hello Jose, and thank you for stopping by and your kind words you have left. I chose this wonderful photo. I love how you left them in the "dark" and that you can see just the two and nothing else besides. It gives further accent that it is just them, concentrating on their dance and maybe their deep love, and nothing else other than that. This is what crossed my mind seeing this. Just so wonderful, I love it. Barbara.

É, o efeito estético final das suas fotos de tango é beeeeeeeeem diferente. O efeito obtido com a iluminação sobre o primo do John Travolta (o dancarino) que faz com que apenas o topo de seu corpo apareça e deixa que o resto seja criado na imaginação da pessoa que visualiza a foto é bem interessante. Parabéns. Ficou muito bom mesmo.
