This is the ballerina I encountered performing on the streets of Trieste, Italy. The time was midday. Lighting and shadows were not cooperating with what I wanted. I really liked the lines and curves that the ballerina presented, so I applied a touch to Topaz Glow to bring out her "inner" spirit. One for LE's B/W challenge. As always, thank you for looking and leaving a comment.

Looks very similar to Fractalius Doug and an excellent choice as this is now all about the lines of the graceful ballerina.

The b&W brings out the detail more than I think it would be in color. Good post Doug.

She appears to come from an outer world now, and creates some 'tension' here anyhow. Very artistic Doug, and a perfect entry for the B&W challenge.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
