Ths simplicity in this photo is just perfect...the soft light, grain and sepia gives just that melancholy feeling.

This is a lovely shot! Very simple but effective composition. Great light!

The ghostly reflections of the light on the floor at the base of the chair, as well as the reflections that extend the reach of the room to infinity, make this image expressive, Galina. The shiny floor is arena for the dance -- and the dance is over and the dancer gone. Only her memory lingers here. There is almost a sense of resignation here. The sepia tone and the old chair give the image a timeless feel -- the last dance might well have been a long, long time ago.

I love the composition, the light and the tones. Beautiful image!

A beautiful image - the shoes draped on the chair...an empty floor awaiting the arrival or lamenting the departure of the dancer.
The toning, the grain, complimenting the wood grain, reflections - all perfect.
Bravo Galina..wonderful work.
Best wishes Rob

Good shot, IMO. The grammar, the light, the subject, tones.. and all. Very good idea.

I like the use of light in this photo and the more light I see the better I like it. So, for that reason I prefer your Photopoints rendition of this room. Both lovely. This one makes the chair the subject and that is very finely toned to bring out the special color of the chair with the rest of the toning.

i think i like thsi one better ,due to the crop.

Lovely composition here, Galina. The bare chair in this empty part of the room with the touch of delicate ballerina shoes. The rest of the image could have been quite empty if it weren't for the shadows and reflections that you included very well into the image. A very nice composed image indeed. Well done !

I love the lines, the tones, the subtle lighting....
Superb shadow pattern, and great textures on the floor.
I don't see any grain here, tell JL to put on his glasses!
.... or should I? LOL
Great Degas mood here.... a lovely composition Galina!
:) Marie
