Thank you Daniel, Artur and Akira

Daniel, you had the patience and maybe some fortune to get a nice alignment of your Dragon.
So many of my attempts have a small fragment in focus

Frank, me at 75 not considering old.
I am shooting from the hip for these shots, not looking at a view, finder or screen.
The Z fc coupled with 16-50 does allright,
Thanks for the responses.

Thank you Frank. They choose and made it themselves with the directions of the teacher/choreographer -not me-.It was interesting to see the process of searching and creation

Fons surprises us all the time with new and fresh images. That's more important than his age (I have met him and know him as a friendly Dutch gentleman, by the way).
