The Ninth Island, a photo from Nevada, West

Photographer's Note

Las Vegas is jokingly called the "ninth Hawaiian Island" because there so many Hawaiian living in the city. They bring with them their culture, food, song and dances.

Allô Eleu!
Merci de nous montrer cette belle photo et la culture Hawaienne. Je n'irais pas jusqu'à dire que le les danseuses sont magnifiques mais leurs costumes attirent l'attention et la photo est bien captée, juste au bon moment.
Toutes mes amitiés et bonne semaine,
Emilius

Hi Eleu,
That's funny to see the three women in tradition Hawaiian clothes and the three men behind with more common ones ! You've yaken the shot at the right moment, I like the expression on women's faces.
regards,
Delphine

Hello Eleu,
The ladies provide great colours and well synchronized movements. You timed this shot very well. It's interesting to see them keeping up the Polynesian traditions so far away from their former homes, although I guess these dances are now performed in very different circumstances from long ago.
Kind regards,
Gert

Howdy Eleu,

Fine candid of the Hawaiian dancers performing and wearing their customes, with the band strumming in the background.

I was not aware of the 9th Hawaiian Island moniker, but then nothing in Vegas seems too outrageous?

Thanks for sharing,
cheers,
Ray

Hi Eleu
Tx to your brief notes, They looked Polynesians with those the quite meaty dancers fitting the bill! A good shot with more front-on and space in between to give good focus for the eyes and complete the context of the photograph in such a pleasant exposure producing a wonderful balance shot. Great stinging colours I will inevitably be struck by the beautiful dancing Hula Gals. A good action shot, Congrats
Kind regards
