Is this for the blue challenge? They aren't as clear as I would have hoped, but then again, considering the distance... I like the added blue stars.

Yes it is for the blue challenge. I liked my photo without the stars but something of the emotional and mystical atmosphere of this performance as of the theater -atmosphere itself seamed to be missing. [I hope you understand what I mean]. Anyway I added the stars for the emotion. Not all of the blue spots are added, There were some in the original what gave me the idea.

Thank you Trev. I highly appreciate your review.

Comment from Dazzleme
Looks like you had a good angle for this shot. Even though it is a bit far away it represents the scheme of the theme well with the blue

Thank you so much. I shot the picture in purpose far away. I climbed to the highest row in the theater for it. I wanted to give the viewer the expression to be part of the audience and the mystical feel of the show.

Thank you so much for another great and supportive review. I liked my picture without the stars but something seamed to be missing of this theater atmosphere. So I added the stars.

Comment from slblevins
Love the stage, makes a great center of interest. Like how the blue lights shine down in two rays on them to spotlight them. The stars you added are really neat and add a frame to the picture. Center of interest great, lighting, technique and creativity of presentation. slblevins:)

Thank you so much. The rays are actually original spotlights of the performance.

Comment from TimeSnatcher
This is so pretty, Cleo, Im glad you added the stars - a scene like this deserves it. Being so far away from the stage actually gives the viewer the feeling of being in the audience.
Very nicely done!

Thank you Maggie. You made my day! That's exactly what I was going for: giving the viewer the impression to be part of the audience.

Very good photo, I love the added stars but even without it this photo is great. The distance actually did it justice, good job. Good luck to you and thank you so much for sharing.
