Strong imagery. I can appreciate the work that goes into ballet. I have 2 daughters and a former girlfriend involved in dance. This photo expresses the intensity and concentration of the dancer. Wonderful use of combining images. This could be a poster in any ballet studio.

Cleo, I wanted to give you this for this beautiful work of art, and again say, congratulations. Beautifully done!!
Hmmm, that's really odd. It won't let me send this until I write a whole bunch more...lol. Which is really strange because I have received many reviews with only a couple sentences :)))

    Thank you so much for these 6 stars. I know you mean it and I'm honored.
    I know about the writing. It's happen to me the same and I don't understand either.

Hi Cleo I have been traveling through New Mexico so the internet has been plus and minus. This was a treat to see and you have done wonderful work in this mixed media and presentation of ballerina.

    Thank you so much for your complimentary review.
    I'm in old Mexico and the Internet is more minus than plus, but it's more expensive than in the US I think. [Antenna $US 600.-, monthly $US 60.- for the signal]

Comment from AlteredImage


Very nice use of the filters. The background image appears a nice, yet harder contrast to the softness of the foreground image. The detail in the leggings is crisp.

This pic is elegant, a bit melancholy somehow... it must be the sephia tone ^_^ i love the techniques and the effects you used in this piece. very nicely blend.

    Thank you so much. Yes there is some melancholy in just as in most ballets.

This is very pretty and well composed. It would make a wonderful poster for a dance studio.
Excellent transfer to the mono-tones. Great use of your lighting. The textures in the piece are amazing~including the ones that you have added!
What a beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing.
