B&W Photo Contest Theme ~ Shadows: Balinese dancer (re-edit)

[ackhoo]

Wood carving of a Balinese dancer given by a family friend
it stands just over one foot high, and is one of a pair

One of my favourite series of shots I had taken when I first got
my proper camera, about 2 years ago

This is amazing AC! I like the slender cut and the facial expression. It is almost a blend of Indian and African woodwork!

[ackhoo]

Indian and African sounds about right, although once you've seen/met a Balinese maiden, you'll understand this expression... I wanted just a close-up of the face and a hint of its figure in the shadow...

[cesmak]

I love the shadow on the background that give more the form of the object.

[ackhoo]

Thank you, @cesmak - yup, that's what I was aiming for... :)
Cheers!

Wow, what a great picture... It almost looks like there is another statue behind :)

[dayatsiaulia]

This statue is not foreign to me, whether you are in Indonesia?

Great shot and you managed to get the dark reflection (shadow) at the back which lends a certain contrast to the picture! Well done my friend and I hope you do well in the contest! Blessings and upvoted! @ackhoo
