Albert,
Excellent image. Careful composing paid off as this is wonderfully clean and simple. Beautiful as rendered but I bet this would make a fantastic B&W.

Yes, graceful comes to mind. Well composed and presented.

Beautiful Albert. I love these high key shots. Snow is magical isn't it?

Albert, this is really awesome. I've been away from the computer for a week or so, and just catching up. This caught my eye immediately. Very nice, very simple, and really well done.

What an absolutely beautiful image, Albert! They do look as if they are dancing, the composition is just perfect, and the subdued light works very well - truly outstanding!

The simple composition works very well and the resemblance to a dance is very obvious. Very well made!

Very artistic and graphic image, Albert. I'm pretty sure that I would prefer this with the color as presented. The barest of shadow under each dancer is so important to the photo IMHO.

Elegant shot, they do appear to be dancing. I think the high tone works well here. Good to see some snow!

Simple and elegant feel to this one, Albert. I like the graceful curve of the branches and the tufts of snow. Nicely done!

Albert,

This is OUTSTANDING. For me at least, I must say this is your best (at least my favorite anyway) of all your postings in this gallery since I came back a few months ago.

Simply beautiful. Can't offer any other critique or suggestions. I love this.

Without reading the other comments, I can already guess I am repeating everyone else when I say that this is absolutely excellent. It's rare for such a simplistic comp tot capture so much feeling, but you nailed it here. Great job seeing this!
