Around the stage

I will put this here as it depicts people looking at people. Behind the curtains. I hope you like it. Please, forgive the many images as I think is necessary to tell the story.

Thanks Fons. A theater is a natural place for high contrast images and emotional content. I just think of them in BW

Excellent pictures; BW is very appropriate for the subject. My only remark is for picture 3291, where the very elegant and pretty lady is not too well deserved by the wide-angle distortion i.e. giving her an oversized foot.

Oh wow.
The piano and the sitting/laying ladies are absolutely great.

Your shots remind me to accept darkness better.

cheers

Yet another excellent series, Paco.  Most images are my favorites.  Love the capturing of the moments, composition and processing.

Lovely series, Paco.  All great but #3291 is my favorite.

Thank you all for the nice remarks.

  It is true it looks like she has a big foot  :)

  Andreas, I usually don´t care much about blacks, specially on stage. On top of that, I just came from a visit to a "bellas artes museum" in Oviedo. That always pushes me in a different directions with bold happiness.

Paco, I thoroughly enjoyed the series. I am happy for you and all the possibilities you have for enjoying photography in such a surrounding!

Perfect series! Really well executed framing and PP!

I would crop some of the images, I'm sure you would as well when 'using' them prints etc.
