Technical Details

Z8, Nikon 180-600mm &1.4ext, f11, 840mm,-1.3EV, ISO 4500, cropped and processed in DXO PhotoLab 9.

All well photographed, Peter. The whites are well exposed. I like the third for the wing and leg positions.

Hi Peter, Good composition and nice poses in each image. I really like the light shining through the wings. Good sharpness also.

A fine series, Peter. To my eye, and it may have been the hour, the images feel just a bit on the blue side-you might warm them just slightly if it fits your vision.

Hi Allen Brooks, Allen Sparks & Dennis

Thank you for the comments. Here is a repost with a slightly warmer look. I use a preset of 5028 kelvin for daytime outdoors.

Peter,

Excellent series, with each moment carrying it’s stand alone weight. In the ideal world, I’d like the wings/body of the first with the leg position of the 3rd. I guess we just can’t have everything.

I like cooler temp of the originals, but also the warmer revision looks perhaps a little more neutral. Great job with the exposure with the whites regardless.

Great work!

Nice poses and the backlighting make the whites pop. Go with the warmer light temperature. The blues are very strong in the shadow areas of the original comp. Well done…Jim

Hi Lon & Jim

Thank you for the comments. I think I like the warmer look better.

Peter

Lovely shots - and I prefer the warmer look too

[warning tangental idea]
I am anthropomorphising these and I wonder if a suitable portrait orientated crop might have the feel of a studio dancer?? Perhaps even mono??
The middle image really fits the idea of dancer ??

The images are great as is - please excuse my tangental thoughts if not of interest.
Just taking the opportunity of playing with your beautiful captures

HI Huw

Thank you for the comment. Your post looks very nice. I just think about making a three panel set for my house.
