Ballet shoes in Russian ballet school

  •  Info Ballet shoes in Russian ballet school. All by me. --Mile (talk) 05:36, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- Mile (talk) 05:36, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose - Light is overly glary on the right, providing insufficient contrast between the background and the dancer's tights. Moreover, no wow. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:20, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment The focus is perfect, with plenty detail in the shoes and tights. The diagonal forming the edge of the floor is a bit distracting (and a yellow/orange blob in one part). But the main distraction is that the shoes are dirty and old. Possibly a fair bit of Photoshopping could transform them but ideally we'd have clean new shoes. I like your black and white version, and the white vignette is appropriate for the subject and high-key image. The b&w conversion fails to distinguish the shoes from the tights -- the targeted adjustment tool suggests decreasing yellow (and some orange) will separate them. We lack good photos of ballet shoes on Commons. Is there any chance you could try again with a new pair? -- Colin (talk) 10:21, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I did want to nominate BW version, since its perfect for ballet. I saw some people dont like BWs, but there is category BW modern photos, ideal for it. @Ikan Kekek if you would say why left side isnt enligthened i would get you, high gradience is benefited here. Not black, not here, check around. For no wow, i say big wow, see for Pointe ballet shoes shots. For glared shot...check your PC screen. I see you voted yes for 2 church shots bellow, which are underexposed. @ Colin Colors are original, yellow back there not so good... will be dismised with BW. I raised contrast also and will put later BW option. Otherwise, this balerina had most "preserved" shoes. They are made so, go quickly, what i can do, to ask when will she buy new one... --Mile (talk) 17:11, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment - How can you argue about wow? It may be that this kind of shot doesn't wow me because I went to a performing arts high school with dancers, so perhaps it may take more than merely a photo of a dancer's feet on pointe to wow me. If so, that's the way it is and I'm only one vote. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:50, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
