Madagascar: Sifaka dance Photo

Two pictures before I promised to upload this interesting photo of how the sifaka lemurs use to move when on the ground. This is the only one specie that use to move on their hind legs performing a kind of "skipping dance".
On this pic You can see a female with the baby hanging on her belly. In the Workshop I uploaded another photo from a different place and perspective to give a better idea of this unique performance.

***scanned from print***

This is my last upload for a while because on travel from the day after tomorrow.Will be back on the beginning of next month. Good bye to everybody!

Hi Attila,
What a fascinating dancing you show to us. I love it. The capture in here is very nice, with the game of shadows on the red ground, which contrasts beautifully with the lemur. I love it, as well as the funny one in ws. The result from scanned is very good. Congratulations and thanks a lot for sharing this!
Have fun in your trip,
Ricardo

Hi Attila,

Excelent decisive moment to capture this lovely pose dance moving of the funny lemur. Excelent perspective and enquadrement view that you took. A splendid composition so well seen with good light, contrasting colors and a nice soft shapness.

Good work, congratulations and TFS.
Best to you
Fernando

alekpet (4657) 2006-04-11 5:18

Hi Atilla.

I wish you a very pleasent trip.
Photo is incredible, I first though of a tribe person doing some dance, then when I opened it I noticed the lemur.
White against a perfect brick color background, with an excelent frame. The pose is what is certainly the best point of this photo.

Take care, Aleks

HOBO (5244) 2006-04-11 7:17

Servus Attila,
as you promised: The great dancer...
I saw them in discovery channel and can imagine it takes some efforts to catch them; so to see at the dust coming up at one of the feet.
The red ground with the shadows of the trees works perfect.
Thanks for the WS too.
Regards
Knut

Bellissimo il tuo ballerino che danza sulla terra rossa. I lemuridi sono proprio dei fantasmi.

Sembra veramente che stia danzando!
ottima foto Attila, veramente bella, con dei colori che fanno molto...Madagascar, l'Isola Rossa....e si vede!
molto belle anche le lunghe ombre sulla terra e il formato della foto che esalta quel lemure danzante.
se facessi vedere questa foto a mio figlio...vorrebbe subito un lemure!!!
anche quella nel WS è molto bella.

buona giornata, ciao.

rozy975 (3047) 2006-07-30 12:32

This is really cute.
You managed to compose a nice photo of this sifaka.
Well done!

Facsi (212) 2006-10-03 7:06

Szia Attila!
A kép címe nagyon találó, Sivatagi Show c. film jutott róla eszembe. Kicsit életlennek tűnik, de így legalább nem statikus a kép, mozgás van benne. Gratulálok!
-----------------------------------------------------------
The title is cool choice, makes me remember movie "Animals Are Beautiful People". Looks little blur, but it's good because it makes dinamic the shot.
TFS!

Bye, Gabor
