This is an outstanding photo, very sexy. If I could make a suggestion, I would cool down the white balance a bit. The male's face is a bit orange/red.

Great photo. I love BA.

Dan,the stage was illuminated by red and yellow lights. White Balance has been already corrected, more would make the whole picture with a very bluish tone. Note the difference between white in collar and cuffs.
Thanks for your feedback.

I see your point Jose, especially in the highlights now that I look more closely. What about desaturating a touch? I realize the dancer is wearing a thick coat of pancake makeup and probably looked this way in person. But art is not about reproducing reality. I also realize that his skin tone is overdone for me, but not for everyone.

Anyway, it's a beautiful picture. I admired it when I first saw it on the other forum, so I thought I should comment.

Dear Dan,
I think you were right, it works better with less vibrance and desaturating a touch.
Thanks for your kind comments.
Rgds,
Jose

Well seen and caught, you've got both the movement and the sex in this image, both of which are key ingredients of the the Tango.

Well done again, it's not an easy subject to photograph.
