    Interesting idea .. are you satisfied with the result or still playing ? you didn't give it a name and that makes me think it is a work/idea in progress ... Thinking out loud and not taking any responsibility, if I were working with this I would use a perspective tool to straighten the purple/blue horizon while keeping the water tower straight and then kill the detail and bring up the orange to make it more a color field study ..... but then I'm forever losing detail in my pictures .....

    Great rehearsal scene, but I wish the girl on the right was not cut off, but you probably could not help it.
    Main actor in the front is very focused!

    This shot of guitar is truly amazing with its point of view. Great effort.

    Great emphasis on the sky and sun wins me over. Little boat adds another dimension. Well spotted.

    It was a throw away image not take with much thought beyond, "I wanna get better pictures at this location the second time I'm here." Not really worth more effort as the logo on the tower is not in the shot, making the image overall kinda blank.

    Surprisingly, the field was a shade of purple from flowers of some sort, but this purple is from the pp.

    FOCUS

    Zenfolio had been archiving a large number of my older galleries.
    I have de-archived a number of them because they still hold interest, but that seems to be a lengthy and rather random process.
    Just yesterday, I received the message that a gallery I had de-archived already weeks ago, has reappeared online.

    It is my gallery of images from a (amateur) theatre performance of the medieval parable/tale of Reynaert The Fox.
    It was a co-production between the adult and the young-adult sections of a local amateur theatre company.

    Here is the link : Reynaert The Fox at Vaarttheater

    The gallery contains two parts:

    • The actual performance (images 32 and beyond) is shown in colour (but muted and toned for uniformity).
      These images were shot at the dress rehearsal and I had agreed with actors and directors that I could move freely in the theatre (and even onstage) as long as I did not interfere with the actual action. This allows for much more intimate angles than just photographing from a fixed spot in the audience or in the wings during a performance with audience.

    • This is preceded by 31 images in B&W, showing the action backstage, where the actors are preparing (and getting prepared by dressers and make up artists) for the show.

    This image is one of those "behind the scenes" shots:
    roelh.zenfolio.com/img/s/v-10/p3746541210-6.jpg

    The Reynart the Fox would have been wonderful to see, a classic tale. The intensity of the nearest actor is captivating. Great shot, with a fine portrait embedded.

    Another fine dragonfly portrait. You have definitely figured out which angles work for these tricky little beasts, whose faces and hind parts are hard to get adequate sharpness in with a single image. Well done.

    A moving portrait with a strong story written out for us to read, in case we missed the story without the written version.

    I have no objection to images of the unhomed. It offends me far more to render them invisible, to hide or ignore their stories. (I have caused some controversy on other photography forums for this opinion but I have not changed my view). Sometimes, if the subject is amenable, I've talked with them about the pictures I've taken and if I could find them again, have managed to give a few prints. Our shared humanity is our bond.
