While having coffee at our fruit and vegetable market, the
gentleman at our neighbouring table stood up and grabbed
his lady by the hand and they danced to the tune being played
to the delight of the audience.

Hi Zafra - in this case I'm not sure the angled diagonal composition works for me

Thanks, I understand, but unfortunately that's the
way I framed the photo. It happened quite quickly
and I barely had time to take my trusted point
and shoot out of my bag.

It was a case of framing in such a way as to eliminate
as many objects and bystandards as possible and
concentrate on the action and scene itself.

The other two photos are not good enough to publish
since the dancers moved quite quickly for a point and
shoot camera.

Normally I would also reject an angle pic. But in this case I do like the angle very much as I feel it adds to the impromptu nature of the shot. :up:

I don't mind the tilt in this case. A slight tilt to the left is never a bad thing. :D :D :D
Also, there is something intimate about the scene which appeals to me.

I have returned and reviewed this image a few times now. The tilt is both interesting and off putting, makes me think and look again...but there is some great feel in this image.

Thank you, Cameron. I feel the same about it for
I keep looking at the face of the dancer and musician.
Then, I realise there is yet another feeling watching
with a benign smile.
