Ahai Macarena!

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Funny. I always thought Macarena was a biscuit. Shows what I know. That guitarist looks a bit like someone who used to be a frequent poster on this forum. I like that there is a bit of movement in the image IE the blurred hair. Not sure about the detail at the top of the image, though it does set a reference. Did you join in?

We just came out of the Centre Georges Pompidou after seeing a photographic collection of Cartier-Bresson and this musician started to play and the girls lined up one after the other and starting line-dancing the Macarena. Were they school friends, we will never know. I only had my pocket camera and as I walked backward I bumped a pickpocket, who was just behind me searching for my wallet or anything valuable. Caught in the act he spoke in French and quickly and nervously passed some money to a female accomplice and walked away quickly. By the time I checked myself to ensure nothing has been taken the dance had stopped and the girls disbanded.

I've seen this sort of things happening before in Europe, an street musician starts to play and a flash mob joins in to dance and quickly disperses once the magic of the moment breaks and the music stops.
